Election season may be heating up here in the US
but overseas in war torn Ukraine, they have a
presidential election on the horizon as well. And during
a recent CBS face the nation interview, Ukrainian President
Vladimir Zelinsky, s wife, Elena Zensa had a
few surprising things to say about her husband's political future
. Currently, the embattled nation has still yet to
decide whether they will even hold elections, ones that
are scheduled for next year. But even if they
do, Zelinsky isn't sure her husband will run.
However, she says she would support the idea more
now than she did initially telling the news outlet quote
, even when he ran the first time, I
didn't fully endorse it. But if he runs again
, if he runs for the second time, if
he decided it is necessary. Well, we have
some experience, we've been there. She went on
to say that it all comes down to what the
country needs right now. And while she will support
him either way, she added, if he will
feel that Ukrainian society will no longer wish him to
be president, he will probably not run. Ukrainian
authorities say that a fair election during the Russian occupation
would likely be impossible with officials expressing concern over Russian
election meddling especially after Moscow already orchestrated sham elections last
year in some occupied regions.
