At the same time, he emphasized that "elections in the Donbass are possible only after the end of hostilities there and the withdrawal of foreign armed forces."

“How likely is that?” If we agree, it will still be necessary for about three months at least in order to ensure security there for everyone - for journalists, for the CEC, for all observers, ”Zelensky said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

According to him, much will become clear after the Norman summit, which is scheduled for April.

Earlier, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Dmitry Razumkov said that Ukrainian legislation allows elections to be held in the Donbass without adopting a separate law. According to him, the Minsk agreements do not specify which law and what additional rules should be adopted for the elections in Donbass.
