Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky spoke with ABC News on Sunday about holding elections in Ukraine if Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to a 60-day ceasefire. Zelensky emphasized that proper security infrastructure is necessary for fair elections amid ongoing conflict and criticized U.S. leaders for blaming Ukraine’s actions rather than addressing the real issues causing global oil price increases, such as conflicts in the Middle East. Trump had previously called for new leadership in Ukraine due to alleged reluctance from Zelensky to agree on peace terms, highlighting a growing tension between the two nations over Ukraine's military strategy against Russia.

Story summary
On October 11, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy told ABC News he is willing to organize elections if Russian President Vladimir Putin agrees to a 60-day ceasefire. This statement came in response to criticism from US President Donald Trump, who had previously called for Ukraine to "get a new leader." Zelenskiy emphasized that it is ultimately up to the Ukrainian people to choose their president and noted that such elections would require security, which might only be possible during a temporary ceasefire. Meanwhile, tensions escalated after Trump announced a deal with Russia temporarily lifting sanctions on Russian fuel, a move seen by Ukraine as potentially funding the war against them. Zelenskiy also defended recent attacks on Russian oil refineries, arguing they were retaliatory strikes in response to repeated Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure.
