Carlovka. City Council elections 31 October 2021

Mikhail Fedorov: The format of my possible participation in the presidential or parliamentary elections will be determined "when we reach that point."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "I believe that during a war like this, elections in general pose a major risk. Elections right now would be a tsunami for the state, which would divide Ukraine. My strategy is to see the country through to the end of the war, preserving an independent and sovereign state. And I will implement it."

Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Everything depends on these next few months—whether we'll have the opportunity to end the war before the fall. Before the elections—important, influential elections in the United States. If we can achieve peace, then we have a window of opportunity; that window is now open."
