Hold Elections: Musk

The head of the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Elon Musk, has called for presidential elections to be held in Ukraine after the Ukrainian parliament voted in favor of Vladimir Zelensky.

“Hold elections,” Musk commented on the social network “X” after the announcement of the Supreme Rada’s approval of a resolution extending Zelensky’s powers. Previously, the Supreme Rada did not vote in favor of a resolution entitled “Supporting Democracy” in the presence of European commissioners and representatives of European countries, which stated that Zelensky should continue to serve until a new president of Ukraine assumes office. The resolution was backed by 218 deputies, while 226 were required.
