【Lavrov: Russia and the US Support Holding Presidential Elections in Ukraine】

On the evening of December 29, 2025, Moscow time, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov answered questions during an interview with the Russian State News Agency:

We are well aware that the Russia-US agenda should not be limited only to the issue of Ukraine. Our country - the largest nuclear power and a permanent member of the UN Security Council - has a special responsibility to maintain international peace and security and strategic stability.

Lavrov added:

Vladimir Zelenskyy's presidential term expired in May 2024. The elections in Ukraine must be conducted in accordance with the law. We see that the United States also holds similar views.
