>> "Are you suggesting that Zelensky could suspend martial law and hold elections on his own authority? You must mean by resigning?" <<

No, I'm not suggesting that at all.
The martial law and general mobilization expires every 90 days.
The next extension of martial law and mobilization will expire November 5, 2025

Only during martial law, do the following prohibitions and restrictions apply in the country:

*movement (border crossing, document checks, curfew);
*the right to work and entrepreneurial activity;
*the right to secrecy of correspondence and phone conversations;
*the right to freedom of speech, the activity of the media, and political parties;
* holding elections and referendums

IOW, if Zelensky did not sign another extension, elections could be held, and all other restrictions would be null & void as well.
(I do agree that during the 90 days, he could not suspense the martial law)

Again thanks for your engagement. I think these discussions are helpful.
So if I grant your point on those technicalities, you are still saying that Zelenskiy should or would veto any extension of martial law?
Brother there is NOBODY in the country who thinks that.
The people did vote for a government and president conciliatory to Russia.
The stupid Americans overthrew that government and we got Zelenskyy etc.
Now you suggest that the people would replace Zelensky while Russians are on Ukrainian soil!?
That Zelensky would or could sign something that surrenders Ukrainian soil?
That Parliament would go along and make that legally binding?
You are asking me to set aside what I know about the Slavic mind.
They do not think like we do.
They might say or write words that sound like something we want to hear, but the generational war goes on.
Freegards!
Yours is the last word if you wish..
