乌克兰官员否认将因特朗普施压而很快宣布选举计划

基辅报道 — 乌克兰领导人的一位顾问周三告诉CBS新闻,总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基(Volodymyr Zelenskyy)不打算在2月24日宣布即将举行总统选举,此前有报道称由于特朗普总统的压力,他会安排全国投票。

“没有任何迹象表明谈判进程会导致总统做出这一宣布,”这位不愿透露姓名的顾问表示。

《金融时报》早些时候报道称,泽连斯基确实计划在2月24日的讲话中宣布总统选举将于5月举行,这一天将是俄罗斯发动全面入侵四周年的纪念日。

泽连斯基上周在基辅告诉记者,特朗普政府正推动乌克兰和俄罗斯达成一项在6月前结束战争的协议。

“美国人提议各方在今年夏季初结束战争,并可能会根据这个时间表向双方施加压力,”泽连斯基表示。

特朗普总统有时会猛烈批评泽连斯基,包括一年前称他为“没有选举的独裁者”。但乌克兰政客指出,根据该国宪法,自俄罗斯发动战争以来实施的戒严令期间,无法举行全国选举。

战争持续期间乌克兰举行选举是否可行?

12月,特朗普总统在接受《政治报》采访时再次提出这一批评,指责泽连斯基“利用战争”来避免选举。

乌克兰领导人当时回应特朗普的评论称,如果美国和欧洲准备在俄罗斯持续进攻期间“确保乌克兰的安全”,选举可以举行。

在戒严令下,乌克兰已禁止大型公共集会,宵禁仍然有效,旨在保护平民生命。与此同时,俄罗斯致命的空袭没有减弱的迹象。

根据乌克兰组织Oko Gora +新闻与分析中心的分析,仅在1月份,俄罗斯就向乌克兰发射了创纪录的5,717枚炸弹和导弹。爆炸无人机袭击也持续不断。官员们表示,一架无人机在夜间击中了哈尔科夫地区的一处民宅,造成一名父亲和他的三个幼儿死亡,其怀孕的妻子受重伤。

除了安全风险外,专家表示,法律和后勤限制也使得战争期间举行选举几乎不可能。乌克兰国家安全与国防委员会秘书奥列克西·丹尼洛夫(Oleksiy Danilov)表示,戒严令下举行议会或总统选举均属非法。

战争还导致许多乌克兰选民流离失所,该国缺乏远程投票所需的基础设施。根据经济战略中心的数据,截至2024年11月,约有520万乌克兰难民在国外,而联合国国际移民组织估计另有300万乌克兰人在国内流离失所,也无法在当地投票站投票。

出于所有这些原因,乌克兰官员表示,在停火生效前无法举行选举。

许多人还认为,任何全国选举都应包含或伴随公民投票,让乌克兰人民支持或拒绝任何最终结束战争的协议条款,其中可能包括乌克兰做出领土让步,尽管泽连斯基迄今为止已排除这种可能性。

据总统办公室称,此类公投只有在超过半数的合格选民能够参与的情况下才有效。

“选举只是和平计划的一部分,”乌克兰总统顾问周三告诉CBS新闻,“我们将一起对和平计划的所有要点进行投票,我们不能单独挑选选举。”

Ukrainian official denies plan to announce elections soon despite pressure from Trump

Kyiv — President Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not plan to make an announcement about looming presidential elections on Feb. 24, an adviser to the Ukrainian leader told CBS News on Wednesday, after a report suggested he would schedule a national vote due to pressure from President Trump.

“There is no change in the negotiations track that would lead the president to make this announcement,” said the adviser, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

The Financial Times reported earlier that Zelenskyy did plan to announce presidential elections would be held as soon as May during an address on Feb. 24, the date that will mark four years since Russia launched its full-scale invasion.

Zelenskyy told journalists in Kyiv last week that the Trump administration was pushing Ukraine and Russia to agree to a deal to end the war by June.

“The Americans are proposing the parties end the war by the beginning of this summer and will probably put pressure on the parties precisely according to this schedule,” Zelenskyy said.

Mr. Trump has at times been fiercely critical of Zelenskyy, including in comments one year ago when he called him a “dictator without elections.” But Ukrainian politicians point out that under the country’s constitution, national elections cannot be held during martial law — which has been imposed since Russia launched its war.

Are elections feasible in Ukraine as the war continues?

In December, President Trump renewed that line of criticism, accusing Zelenskyy of “using the war” to avoid elections in an interview with Politico.

The Ukrainian leader responded to Mr. Trump’s comments then, saying elections could be held if the U.S. and Europe were prepared to “ensure security” in his country amid Russia’s ongoing assault.

Large public gatherings have been prohibited in Ukraine and curfews remain in place under the martial law measures intended to protect civilian life. Meanwhile,Russia’s deadly airstrikes show no sign of abating.

In January alone, Russia hit Ukraine with a record 5,717 bombs and missiles, according to an analysis by the Ukrainian group Oko Gora + News and Analytics. Explosive drone attacks have also been relentless. Officials said one drone hit a civilian home overnight in the Kharkiv region, killing a father and his three toddlers and seriously wounding his pregnant wife.

On top of the security risks, experts say legal and logistical constraints also make holding elections during the war nearly impossible. According to Oleksiy Danilov, Secretary of the Ukrainian National Security and Defense Council, it is illegal to hold either parliamentary or presidential elections under martial law.

The war has also driven many Ukrainian voters out of the country, and there’s little infrastructure in place to enable remote voting. As of November 2024, there were some 5.2 million Ukrainian refugees abroad, according to the Center for Economic Strategy, while United Nation’s International Organization for Migration estimates an additional 3 million Ukrainians are internally displaced and would also be unable to vote at local polling stations.

For all those reasons, Ukrainian officials say elections cannot be held before a ceasefire comes into effect.

Many also argue that any national election should include or accompany a referendum for the Ukrainian people to back — or reject — the terms of any eventual deal to end the war, which could include Ukraine making territorial concessions, though Zelenskyy has thus far ruled that out.

According to the president’s office, such a referendum would only be valid if more than half of the country’s eligible voters are able to participate.

“Elections are just one part of a peace plan,” the Ukrainian presidential adviser told CBS News on Wednesday. “We will vote on all points of the peace plan together, and we cannot cherry pick elections separately.”
