But Netanjahu can stay?

To the extent possible, we should not agree to this requirement.

This is clearly done by Trump under the bidding of the Russians.

To get the answer to that question, we need to read the Ukrainian constitution, not listen to any administration's diplomats.

My limited understanding:

• in a "situation of war", elections are suspended
• a ceasefire may be grounds for ending the situation of war
• the situation of war is ended by a vote of the Rada (parliament)
• quite obviously, that's done if a ceasefire holds and Russia seems to follow through with promises
