Zelensky Says He Won’t Hold Elections Unless U.S. and EU Pay for Them

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has demanded that taxpayers in the United States and European Union send the country even more aid if the West wishes for elections to be held next year.
In an interview published by the president’s office on Sunday evening, Zelensky said that he would be willing to hold elections despite the ongoing martial law amid the war with Russia, so long as the U.S. and EU bankroll the voting process.
The Ukrainian leader said that elections during peacetime typically cost around 5 billion hryvnia ($135 million) but did not speculate as to how much more they would cost during a war, though presumably it would be much higher.
Zelensky said that he discussed the topic of funding for the 2024 elections with U.S. Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, who has been one of the staunchest supporters of sending more aid to Ukraine on Capitol Hill.
“I told [Sen. Graham]: If the United States and Europe give us financial support… I’m sorry, I will not hold elections on credit, I will not take money from weapons and give it to elections either. But if you give me this financial support, if the parliamentarians realize that we need to do this, then let’s quickly change the legislation and, most importantly, let’s take risks together,” Zelensky said.

Hillarious.

Seriously. The Ukrainian constitution and laws allows for elections to be delayed in time of war. What is wrong with letting Zelensky do something that is allowed under Ukrainian law?
What I find hilarious is that some of the posters hating on Zelensky for cancelling elections in Ukraine next year are the same posters who wanted the 2020 elections postponed due to covid and then wanted Trump to declare a state of emergency and refuse to cede power.

Just make a call to Joe "The Traitor" Biden and threaten to release some of the info about his pay for play scam and I am sure the US will pay for the election. Hell, Joe can probably tell him how to rig the election to be sure that he wins.

If I were in charge we'd send him all our Dominion machines and use serialized paper ballots as a replacement.
