Also, the Ukrainian Constitution prohibits elections during war.
Article 83 of the Ukrainian Constitution states that if the term of the Verkhovna Rada expires under martial law, it shall automatically be extended until a new Rada is seated following the end of martial law. Article 19 of Ukraine’s martial law legislation specifically forbids conducting national elections. Thus, for Ukraine to conduct elections while under martial law would be a violation of legal norms that predate Zelensky and the full-scale Russian invasion.
So, this idea that somehow Zelensky is a dictator holding on to power is...nonsense. He's literally following the law of the land.
And, again, Russia can end it immediately by stopping its invasion. It's that simple.
