At the same time, Zelensky's speech may be canceled due to the negative public perception of the idea to hold a national poll on local election day.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky reportedly plans to speak at the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, on October 20.
"No official documents have been submitted yet, but as of Tuesday they [Zelensky and his office] planned to come to the Rada with the address. We are preparing to hear the speech," a Parliament source has told the Ukrayinska Pravda online newspaper.
