LONDON, March 30. /TASS/. The presidential election in Ukraine may be held in July, The Economist reports, citing a source in the Ukrainian government.

Vladimir Zelensky will attempt to catch his competitors by surprise, hoping that they will fail to arrange an efficient campaign within a short term, the source said.

According to the news outlet, Zelensky instructed his office last week to start working on the election after the full-fledged ceasefire that might be achieved by the end of April, as the US administration believes.
