Ukraine election held by...?

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has declared that Russia will not sign a peace agreement with Ukraine until an election occurs, ignoring Ukrainian law that prohibits elections during wartime. Additionally, Lavrov demands that any peace deal prevent future pro-Western governments in Ukraine, while Russia prepares fake elections in occupied Ukrainian territories.

Lavrov Rejects Election

Lavrov now says Russia won’t sign a peace agreement until there’s an election in Ukraine.

Lavrov doesn’t seem to understand that the law dictates that elections cannot be held in times of war.

That’s not an edict by Zelenskyy.

It’s Ukrainian parliament’s decision to vote to

Pope Leo XIV's election to the papacy is celebrated by Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, who values the Holy See's firm stance against Russian aggression and support for international law. Discussions around Ukraine's future include potential peace agreements with Russia, debates over NATO and EU involvement, and calls for lifting martial law to hold elections.

Pope Support

Ukraine war could end when prez election is held; not a Ceasefire! Then, new prez/Ukraine, pro-Russian, signs Russia’s peace agreement/Istanbul: No NATO for Ukraine, Russia retains its lands, Ukraine neutralized, No EU peacekeepers, etc…peace agreement signatures=ceasefire

Congratulations to His Holiness Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex on his election to the See of Saint Peter and the beginning of his pontificate.

Ukraine deeply values the Holy See’s consistent position in upholding international law, condemning the Russian Federation’s military aggression

Donald Trump has proposed a three-stage plan for Ukraine, involving a ceasefire, elections, and a final agreement, which critics argue fully aligns with Vladimir Putin's desires. The announcement of Ukraine's presidential election on October 26, 2025, by former President Petro Poroshenko, adds further complexity to the ongoing conflict and political landscape.

Trump Proposes Ukraine Ceasefire

BREAKING: According to my sources: the proposal by #Trump consists of 3 stages: 

1) a ceasefire 
2) ELECTIONS in Ukraine
3) signing of a final agreement.  

This is complete fulfillment of all #Putin desires. 

Especially the election part is a gift by Trump to Putin. Putin

Ukrainian President Zelensky is under intense scrutiny as calls for an immediate election grow louder amid tensions with U.S. leaders like Trump and Vance, highlighted by a heated Oval Office exchange. Critics, including prominent voices, argue Zelensky's cancellation of elections and resistance to peace talks are driven by a desire to maintain power, while polls show significant support for potential rival Zaluzhnyi.

Election Pressure

Time for Ukraine to have a real election!

It is now more urgent than ever that Ukraine hold an immediate election with no censorship: We must know for certain if the will of Ukrainian people is to back Zelensky and his road to ruin. If it is, then so be it

🇺🇦⚔️🇺🇸Zelensky rebuffed Senator Lindsey Graham's call for him to resign after his altercation with Trump.

"Only the people of Ukraine can make that decision," Zelensky said.

It's funny to hear that, given that Zelensky cancelled the election.

I bet the people of Ukraine would love to hold an election right about now 😂

Zelenskyy does not want peace. He wants more money and weapons.

Zelenskyy knows when the Ukraine-Russia war is over, he will have to hold an election, and he will no longer be President.

Ukraine Holds an “Election” - Ukraine held an election to determine the true president.  Ukraine’s Parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, passed a resolution this week to secure Zelensky’s position for as long as martial law remains in effect. https://t.co/mwFyjRSdcL

Discussions are heating up over the absence of presidential elections in Ukraine amidst ongoing conflict, with calls for democratic processes growing louder as some suggest international oversight to ensure fairness. Additionally, economic concerns mount as confidence wanes, evidenced by Ukrainians withdrawing funds amid peace talks and political uncertainty.

Debate Intensifies

The fact that we are not demanding a election in Ukraine is something Russians are watching closely. 

We could easily ask the Organization of Security Cooperation in Europe to help with that. 

The fact that we are not doing these things sends the wrong message to the Russians.

Should Zelenskyy hold an election in the Ukraine?

Ukraine's presidential election may be held in July, as reported by The Economist, with Volodymyr Zelensky aiming to catch rivals off guard with a surprise announcement. Discussions and opposition to alternative proposals, such as a UN-mandated transitional administration suggested by Putin, highlight the contentious atmosphere surrounding the potential vote.

Putin is exactly right.  Zelensky is a corrupt stooge who can't be trusted.  Ukraine should have a legitimate election so that peace can be negotiated in good faith with someone who actually represents the people of Ukraine.

This market is about whether a date for the next Ukrainian election is announced between February 14, 2025, and June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Whether the election is supposed to take place during this timeframe or later will have no effect on the resolution of this market.

Only territory ceded as part of a diplomatic process or agreement will qualify. 

If a territorial adjustment is made as part of a mutual border demarcation process or technical boundary agreement that does not materially alter de facto control or reflect a broader territorial concession, it will not qualify for a 'Yes' resolution unless it is reported as a territorial concession by a consensus of credible reporting.

Any agreement which cedes de facto military control of territory held by Ukraine will qualify regardless of whether Ukraine formally maintains its claim to sovereignty. For example, the 1999 Kumanovo Military Technical Agreement, in which Yugoslavia agreed to pull military forces out of Kosovo but did not recognize Kosovo’s autonomy or independence would qualify for a 'Yes' resolution.

The primary resolution source for this market will be an official announcement by Ukraine and/or the Russian Federation, however, an overwhelming consensus of credible reporting confirming an agreement has been reached will also qualify.

The deal must be a publicly announced mutual agreement. 

If such an agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes", regardless of if/when the agreement goes into effect.

An agreement by Ukraine formally recognizing Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory for any amount of time will count.

An agreement by Ukraine formally recognizing Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory as a precondition of a more comprehensive peace process or deal will qualify, even if the agreement is not finalized or part of a formalized peace deal. The September 8, 1995, “Agreed Basic Principles” between Bosnia and Yugoslavia, which recognized the borders and sovereignty of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and was later formalized through the Dayton Peace Agreement, is an example of a qualifying agreement.

An official unilateral pledge by Ukraine formally recognizing Russian sovereignty over any UN-recognized Ukrainian territory will qualify for a “Yes” resolution even if not part of an agreement with Russia.

The April 19, 2013, Brussels Agreement between Serbia and Kosovo, in which Serbia recognized Kosovo’s de facto administration but did not formally grant de jure recognition, would not be considered a qualifying agreement under this market, as this market requires formal recognition of sovereignty rather than acknowledgment of administrative control.

A qualifying peace framework is any publicly announced plan, roadmap, or framework intended as the basis for ending the war, provided that the United States formally endorses it and Ukraine officially agrees to it through one of the following:

1. A written or signed framework-related instrument issued or signed by Ukraine that affirms agreement with the U.S.-endorsed framework.

2. An official U.S.–Ukraine announcement — defined as an official government-issued declaration, such as a joint statement, communiqué, or coordinated official releases, explicitly stating that Ukraine has agreed to a U.S.-endorsed peace framework. The announcement must be issued through authorized government channels, including official written releases or formally published transcripts by the White House, State Department, Office of the President of Ukraine, Cabinet of Ministers, or Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Verbal (including interviews or remarks during bilateral meetings) and social-media claims by either leader will not qualify unless later issued in an official written or published form by the respective government. The U.S. President or any US government official publicly stating that “an agreement has been reached,” without a corresponding formal release or communiqué, will not qualify; the same applies to statements by the Ukrainian President or Ukrainian officials.

3. A formally issued Ukrainian governmental action — including a presidential decree, Cabinet resolution, or National Security and Defense Council decision — explicitly stating that Ukraine agrees to the U.S.-endorsed framework. 

The primary resolution source will be official government documents, statements, decrees, and credible reporting confirming that Ukraine officially agreed to a U.S.-endorsed peace framework under the standards above.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if there is an agreement on an official buffer zone between Russia and Ukraine by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A "buffer zone" is defined as a neutral or otherwise militarily restricted area that lies between the territories of Russia and Ukraine and is intended to reduce or manage conflict between them.

A qualifying buffer zone does not need to cover a minimum geographic area, nor require the withdrawal of all categories of weapons or personnel. It is sufficient that the agreement explicitly demonstrates mutual intent to suspend offensive military action within the designated zone, for example, by stipulating the withdrawal of heavy artillery, armored vehicles, etc.

If the agreement is officially reached before the resolution date, this market will resolve to "Yes," regardless of whether the buffer zone is established formally by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET.

Informal statements, plans contingent on future conditions, statements of intent without a formal policy directive, announcements of a partial implementation, or any other statements that do not constitute a formal policy announcement will not be considered.

A mutual agreement on a buffer zone will suffice for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of potential subsequent violations of such an agreement.

This market's resolution will be based on official announcements from both Russia and Ukraine; however, a broad consensus of credible media reporting stating an official agreement regarding a buffer zone between Russia and Ukraine has been reached will suffice.

Ukraine hits Moscow by December 31?

This market will resolve to “Yes” if, according to the ISW map, Ukraine captures any territory in Crimea by June 30, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET.

Territory will will be considered captured if any part of Crimea shaded blue on the ISW map (https://storymaps.arcgis.com/stories/36a7f6a6f5a9448496de641cf64bd375) by the resolution date. Otherwise, the market will resolve to “No”.

Once Ukraine captures territory in Crimea, any subsequent loss of control will not be considered towards the resolution of this market.

If Ukraine comes into control of territory in Crimea as a result of a negotiated settlement, this will qualify for a 'Yes' resolution, regardless of if it is shaded blue in the ISW map. However, an announcement of a negotiated settlement which gives Ukraine de jure control will not qualify. Actual control must be established.

The primary resolution source for this market will be the ISW Ukraine map. If the ISW map is rendered unavailable, information from DeepStateMap (https://deepstatemap.live/) may be used. If information from both the ISW and DeepStateMap are rendered permanently unavailable, a consensus of credible reporting may be used.

Note: Any temporary glitches or errors in the map which will not be considered.
