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?

Again under martial law there cannot be elections, and I highly doubt ending martial law now would have a good outcome.

Abraham Lincoln was given a choice

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?
