Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, in an interview with Axios news website, said that he would be ready to quit once the war with Russia is over.
"My goal is to finish the war," not to continue running for office, Axios quoted Zelenskiy as saying.
The comments hint at Zelenskiy's intentions to not continue in office indefinitely. Moscow has so far dismissed the Ukrainian president as an 'illegitimate' leader with the Kremlin saying any future peace deal can't have Zelenskiy's signature.
Meanwhile, on September 24, Zelenskiy urged world powers to help stop Russia's war in his country in a speech to the United Nations, warning of a dangerous arms race that he said the fighting was unleashing.
He called for global rules to curb the use of artificial intelligence in weapons while describing breakneck innovation in drones used in Ukraine. He also accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of seeking to expand his war beyond Ukraine.
"Stopping Russia now is cheaper than wondering who will be the first to create a simple drone carrying a nuclear warhead," he told the 193-member United Nations General Assembly.
