Are Western allies of Ukraine prepared to do it despite Russian objections? Ich meine, Macron sagt, dass es nicht an Russland zu entscheiden ist, aber ich denke, dass diese Vorschläge nur eine Idee sind.

Well, first of all, as you may know, Ukrainian law prohibits elections during wartime. To change that, I'll have to change a lot of laws and the constitution itself. Volodymyr Zelensky's popularity shot up following Donald Trump's criticism and American suggestions that he is, and I quote, a dictator without elections. Ukrainer seem to be rallying around their president.

And I have to say, many of them do not really like Zelensky. But, you know, it's a democracy. And that's the only leader they've got. Now, there are other possible contenders for the role, such as Valeria Zalozhny, the former Ukrainian Army Commander, various volunteers involved in supplying weapons to the Ukrainian Army. And all of them

They hold roughly the same position when it comes to fighting Russia. We need to fight for our country. So replacing Zelensky isn't really going to change that. However, if such an election were to be held under a theoretical scenario, the fear is that Russia would be able to manipulate that. And they're so skilled at manipulating elections.

Well, the bottom line is that on the ground, nothing has happened yet. More than two months after Donald Trump moved back into the White House, the fighting still continues. All we know is that the latest round or rounds of talks in Saudi Arabia, they're focused on safe shipping in the Black Sea. Now, that's important because Ukraine used to export huge amounts of grain via the Black Sea.

Now, that's extremely difficult because of the war. Ships are being attacked. And that's a problem for Ukraine, for the customers of its grain, and also for Russia that also used the Black Sea to export its goods. Now, Sergei Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, within the past few minutes has confirmed that Black Sea shipping has been discussed, but we don't know the details yet.
