"But we recognize that it’s a difficult thing to do in the middle of the war. This isn’t a question that’s unique to Ukraine, it’s a question that pertains to any country that is in the middle of the war," Miller emphasized.
In this connection, he drew attention, in particular, to the difficulties for sdiers on front lines to cast ballots, as well as for pele in temporarily occupied territories.
"So it’s a very difficult issue. And, ultimately, it’s a decision for the Ukrainian pele to make," said the representative of the State Department.
As reported by Ukrinform, the latest presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine took place in 2019.
