Ukrainians express disapproval of Trump's comments on war and elections

KYIV, Feb 19 (Reuters) - Ukrainians expressed strong disapproval of U.S. President Donald Trump's recent comments, which accused President Volodymyr Zelenskiy of starting the war with Russia. Many in Kyiv emphasized their determination to continue fighting against Russian aggression. Trump's suggestion for elections in Ukraine during the ongoing war has been met with resistance. Zelenskiy stated that elections will only occur after martial law is lifted, and many citizens believe holding them now would be impractical and destabilizing. Ukrainian officials and citizens are calling for unity and support for Zelenskiy. They argue that the focus should remain on resisting Russian forces rather than on political elections during wartime.
