Ukraine updates: Zelenskyy seeks support to hold elections

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy expressed his willingness to hold elections amid the ongoing conflict and martial law, on condition that Ukraine receives the necessary support from the US and other international allies.

Zelenskyy said elections could happen next year, if allies shared the financial burden. He said legislative approval and ensuring good voter turnout would also be essential.

Meanwhile, Russia said it had shot down Ukrainian drones near Moscow and the Bryansk region bordering Ukraine.
