The budget statement provides for elections only after martial law is lifted

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has determined that funding for the preparation and conduct of elections will be provided after the legal regime of martial law in the country is terminated or repealed. This provision is included in the official draft Budget Declaration for 2027–2029. 

According to Government Resolution No. 793 of June 17, which approved the Budget Declaration, this rule applies to the financing of regular elections for the President of Ukraine, members of the Verkhovna Rada, as well as members of local councils and heads of villages, towns, and cities.

The document containing these provisions was officially published on the government portal of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

It should be noted that the majority of Ukrainians oppose holding elections until the war is fully over.

The Verkhovna Rada has decided that elections will not take place during the war.
