President Volodymyr Zelensky rejected the idea of presidential elections in Ukraine next year, labeling the topic as “irresponsible” in his video address posted on Nov. 6.

    Seems reasonable, it’s a pretty dire situation they’re in.

    The telling point is what happens after they win.

      Yeah. It’s reasonable to suspend voting. Between many people being outside of the country, a lot of them being active as soldiers on the front and entire section of the country under occupation. Not giving the East any vote, since they’re under occupation, is the opposite of healing the country.

      An election would be a shit show. Plus, there would be like 5 guys saying “my goal is to win the war” and some token insano who is going “my goal is to fall over and surrender”.

      There should be elections closely after the war ends, but an election doesn’t make sense in such a hot fight.
