MOSCOW, March 31. /TASS/. Ukraine’s authorities are not planning on holding any elections in July, contrary to claims made earlier by the Economist, the BBC’s Ukrainian service said, citing sources.

Its sources in Vladimir Zelensky’s office and the Ukrainian government noted that no talks had been held on the matter and nobody received any instructions on organizing the elections in July.

On March 30, the Economist, citing sources in the Ukrainian government, reported that Ukraine could hold its presidential election in July. According to its information, last week, Zelensky instructed his office to begin work on organizing the vote once a ceasefire was reached.

In turn, on March 31, RBC-Ukraine reported that leading Ukrainian political forces, amid rumors about the potential scheduling of the presidential or parliamentary elections, had noticeably become more active. According to the media outlet, the ruling pro-presidential Servant of the People party has already begun drawing up potential party lists.
