Details: The UK broadcaster notes that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has not yet responded to Fedorov's statement. However, in a comment to the BBC regarding Fedorov's proposal, a source in the Office of the President said it was "highly bizarre to plan elections amidst missiles and drones".

"This demonstrates a complete lack of realism," the source told the BBC.

Previously:

• On 18 August, former defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov called for Ukraine not to allow Russia to decide when Ukrainians would be able to elect their government again.
• Meanwhile, in March 2026, Zelenskyy said that elections would "take place after the war ends, not during a temporary ceasefire".
