Pakistan, Feb. 11 -- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy plans to announce the country's presidential election and a peace referendum plan on February 24.

Officials say voters may simultaneously cast ballots for national elections and a referendum on a proposed peace deal with Russia. Ukrainian and European sources confirmed the announcement timeline to the Financial Times on Wednesday.

Under a framework discussed by US and Ukrainian negotiators, any peace agreement would be submitted to Ukrainian voters for approval. Reports indicate discussions are ongoing about holding both the national election and referendum in May. Officials emphasize that the referendum is intended to secure public consent for a potential deal with Moscow.
