Elections in Ukraine must be held only after sustainable peace is achieved, ensuring a free, fair, and democratic process that reflects the will of the people, writes Olga Aivazovska of Civil Network OPORA in her op-ed.

Yeah, because who doesn't want to go vote at polling stations being bombarded by Russian drones, missiles and artillery? /s
Maybe there's a reason countries under attack don't hold elections?
No one ‼️
No country ‼️
EVER
has an election when being in the midst of war on own country
Ridicules demand 🙄
Maybe what the felon wants is a war so no elections in the USA ...on his mind 🤪 it is j/s
America technically did during the Civil War but it was an absolute blowout for Lincoln and a pretty good example of many reasons not to hold elections during war time, especially when a large chunk of territory is under hostile occupation
Democracy had already taken hold in Ukraine. That's why Putin attacked. It was fine by Putin before Zelenskyy was elected, because his predecessor was hand picked by Putin to be Ukraine's President.
That is an incorrect picture of Ukraine. Ukraine is already long on its way to a good democracy, that's how it can be an EU candidate. That is also part of the reason russia started its imperialistic war.
This is obviously lie.
Valid reasons to not hold elections:
1) 1M people in army, who are busy fighting russian terrorists, and are not able to vote
2) 2M people on ruZZia occupied territories who are not able to vote
3) Risk of being murdered by ruZZian terrorists during voting in crowded public place
4) All TV is under current political party control so no fair opposition
5) Ukraine elections is demand straight from pootin mouth. He said that first and now promoting this vis his minions. Goal - destroy Ukraine
It's illegal to hold elections during martial law according to Ukraine's constitution. None of the opposition are in favour of holding elections during invasion.
UK didn't have elections during WWII, was that an issue?
Trump's comment about Zelensky being a 'dictator' by not having elections (in the middle of Russia's invasion of Ukraine), was an ill thought out 'wind-up'.
Everyone knows that, but Trump and Putin are two of a kind...power mad megalomaniacs, and they live in a dangerous fantasy world.
Crazy times!

He's on the wrong side of history. If you like Democracy, that is.
The longer this war rages, the more likely Ukraine will become a mirror image of Russia.
No (fair) elections, individual rights diminished for sake of national security, forced (unfair) trade deals with Europe and the US.
The only valid reason to not hold elections is fear of losing that election.
That is not a stable democracy...it just isn't...
