Ukraine needs to have elections
The thing is their constitution states that during a time of war they can't.
Oh well since it's legal then that's alright. Guess slavery is fine too, as long as the constitution says it is.
Abraham Lincoln was given a choice to not hold elections during the American civil war but he understood the war is at the will of the people. Are we afraid the Ukrainian people will vote against the war?
You can't let a pesky volk get in the way of the endsieg
And Zelenskyy is not given a choice. Their constitution forbids it. Are you suggesting that Zelenskyy should seize more power beyond that granted by the constitution?

From NIRA data.
Great. Then have an election!
Again under martial law there cannot be elections, and I highly doubt ending martial law now would have a good outcome.
