Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said in a Monday address that it is “not the right time for elections” in Ukraine as the end of his five-year term approaches.
Zelensky argued in his Monday video address that Ukraine should not have to deal with elections as it continues to attempt to fend off Russia, which invaded Ukraine in February 2022. He previously had not ruled out Ukraine holding a presidential contest next year, though elections are currently suspended in the country under martial law.
And finally, the waves of any politically divisive things must stop,” he said Monday. “We must realize that now is the time of defense, the time of the battle that determines the fate of the state and people, not the time of manipulations, which only Russia expects from Ukraine. I believe that now is not the right time for elections.”

Ukraine == Zzzellinsskyyy == Corruption
Of course not. I’ve got tue feeling that the time will never be right.
The Z Man is saving democracy like a master! Nothing says democracy better than cancelling elections.
Obiden will do this next November.
This is the lefts plan here just watch next yr they will go to war with Iran and the election will be canceled
If Covid and shutdowns don’t return, I bet you’re right.
YNick Cage cynically says “You don’t say!”
Zelensky is a threat to democracy.
Moe says that as well. Or is it Curley or Larry?
The USA had elections, even during the Civil War.
Yeah, this is why we have SCHEDULED elections in America. So worthless oligarchs can’t pull this crap.
Granted, they pull other crap, but we’ve NEVER missed a federal election since 1788.

Borrowed helter - skelter

Wouldn’t want elections getting in the way of Democracy, right?
"The 1864 presidential election took place during the American Civil War. According to the Miller Center for the study of the presidency, the election was noteworthy for occurring at all, an unprecedented democratic exercise in the midst of a civil war."
Silly man - Just use your US $$ to have Dominion manage the election, ya know, to make it “secure,” and you can get any result you want.
The Americans should tell Zelensky, you want money, schedule elections. But observers must be there. And it will be transparent and fair (better than what we have here in the U.S., of course).
