Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has said he is prepared to leave office once the war with Russia concludes, stressing that his priority is peace rather than political ambition. In a recent interview, he explained that elections could be organized by parliament if a ceasefire is reached. "If we finish the war with the Russians, yes, I am ready not to go (for elections) because it's not my goal, elections," Zelensky told the Axios website in a video interview. "I wanted very much, in a very difficult period of time, to be with my country, help my country. My goal is to finish the war." What do you think about this?
