Ukraine President Zelensky says he’s ‘ready’ to step aside after Russia war ends

WASHINGTON — President Volodymyr Zelensky of Ukraine announced on Wednesday that he is “prepared” to step down once Russia’s ongoing assault on his nation concludes.

“If we conclude [the] war with [the] Russians, I’m ready not to pursue a second term because elections are not my priority — it’s about ending the conflict,” Zelensky shared with Axios during an expansive interview.

“My primary focus is to support my country through this challenging period, and my objective is to see the war concluded.”

Zelensky, now 47, was elected for a five-year presidency in April 2019. The presidential election originally set for March 2024 has been indefinitely postponed due to martial law in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion in February 2022.

Some critics in the U.S. have capitalized on the delayed elections, alleging that Zelensky is trying to extend his grip on power, with President Trump previously labeling Zelensky a “dictator” when their relations were strained.

On Wednesday, however, Zelensky recognized that Ukrainians might desire “a leader with … a new mandate” to guide the nation towards a post-war future.

Zelensky also considered the possibility of conducting elections during a ceasefire with Russia, even if a lasting peace agreement has not yet been established.

“During the ceasefire, I think we may have the security to hold elections,” he indicated. “It is possible.”

Both Ukraine and the United States have signaled support for a ceasefire to facilitate negotiations for a comprehensive agreement, while Russia has consistently rebuffed efforts to engage in discussions.

That same day, Trump issued a pointed statement criticizing Russia, calling it a “paper tiger” and predicting that Ukraine could reclaim all its territories occupied by Moscow and potentially advance even further.

Currently, approximately 20% of Ukraine’s territory remains under the control of Russian forces.
