>> "Zelenskyy simply does not have the authority to end the war under Ukraine law. Ukraine law forbids presidential elections during wartime!" <<

>> "Zelensky doesn't have the authority to end the war (so why was he in DC?), but because there is a war, there can't be an election, therefore keeping in place the person who doesn't have the authority to end the war. The Church Lady might say "that's convenient". <<

The statement that he is forbidden to hold elections in wartime, is 100% incorrect.
There is no such law.

Zelensky declared martial law on February 24, 2022, knowing Ukraine's constitution mandates that elections cannot go ahead until any declaration of martial law is lifted.
The duration of martial law and general mobilization in Ukraine has to be extended every 90 days.
Zelensky's regime has voted and he has signed a martial law extension 16 times already.
IOW, if he would let the martial law and general mobilization extension expire, elections could be held.
He is trying to avoid any elections, because he knows, he would be ousted by a large majority of voters!
He simply denies the Ukrainian people the elections they want and deserve.

Thank you for your engagement here!
It is in their constitution. That is how my Ukrainian friends explained it to me.
Parliament extended martial law.
Poroshenko’s party overwhelmingly supported martial law .back in April and still do now.
He and all the leaders of his party said it was “both illegal and immoral to suspend martial law, while Russia, etc.”
I really do not know to what you are referring when you suggest Zelenskyy could hold elections. Even so Poroshenko still complains that Zelenskyy is “using martial law” to aggrandize more power for himself. Are you suggesting that Zelensky could suspend martial law and hold elections on his own authority? You must mean by resigning? Why even talk about such a thing as if it was even in the realm of remotest possibility?
If he had wheels he could be a bicycle.
