President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine "needs to think" about how to hold presidential elections, because at the moment they are prohibited by law during wartime.
Source: Zelenskyy in an interview for British TV programme Channel 4 News
Quote: "I haven’t postponed [the elections – ed.], it happens automatically. I’m just not able to hold them now, primarily because of the law which forbids me from doing it. It doesn’t just forbid me from holding elections, but all institutions in general.
The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine [the Ukrainian Parliament – ed.] has to vote and give a mandate for the elections. They [the MPs – ed.] have to raise this question and vote. They can’t do that due to the prohibition – they can’t break the law. The situation is that elections are forbidden during wartime.
And even if it were possible to do it, what would we do about the temporarily occupied territories, and how could we make these elections legitimate so that they would be recognised by the world if over 6 million Ukrainian citizens are abroad and they would need the infrastructure to vote, and we unfortunately don’t have a format for online voting?
If you ask me, I believe we do need to think about how to do it. If I could do it tomorrow, I would."

From day one I looked at this war as the equivalent of the eastern front in WWII. Watching your enemies decimate each other.
Putin, yes. Zelensky is on our side. Ukraine isn’t perfect, of course not. But they’ve made a lot of progress since they left USSR in 1991.
From day one you’ve been evil. You equate the Neo-Soviets with pro-America Ukraine. You equate the brutal invader with the defender. You equate beautiful Ukrainians with their Mohammedan and Russian convict oppressors. Just travel to Ukraine and see for yourself what Ukrainians are like.
As President, Zelenskyy has the power to declare an end to martial law.
“If you ask me, I believe we do need to think about how to do it. If I could do it tomorrow, I would.”
Zeeke is lying
I don’t know why we have some FReepers rooting for Putin, especially when he’s using Chechens to fight for the Russian Empire?
And exactly WHO was the buttmunch who prohibited the presidential election?
It's almost as if the Ukrainians forgot about the 100+ Billions of taxpayer dollars America has sacrificed for them, and now coyly claim they're 'just' asking for a little help:

We are throwing billions down the Ukraine rat hole to protect the Biden and DNC crime families, biowarfare labs and NATO's desire for regime change using other lives as proxies.
Ukraine has outlawed elections as Z’s legitimate terms ends and you’re on here decrying the Russian election as suspect. Mental illness is such a debilitating state.
Which is correct.

Exactly, the outcome will be the same. History buffs see the many similarities, Ukraine’s Neo Nazi problem, cancelled elections, severe manpower shortages -pressing young, old and even woman into service, abolishing the Orthodox Religion, St Z issuing hold at all costs orders, canning Generals that disagree with him, killing his own soldiers that surrender, sicking his SBU secret police on his population, I can go on…..if history is repeating, St Z ( like Hitler) will be done in by his own.
Time to admit the poor Ukrainian people are stuck with a corrupted, delusional leader who fails to negotiate….broke, busted and disgusted- simply spent-” Victory to the last Ukrainian “….carry on.
IIRC, he was responsible for the law coming into being.
But outlawing them in Ukraine to keep DC’s Quisling in power is A OK by you. 🤪🤪🤪🤪
Biden’s trick - Open the border, and then complain about how to fix the problem.
AND, they have always had special status.
And they've made a lot of Ukrainian oligarchs, and American politicians on both sides of the aisle, their family members, and their big donors extremely wealthy.
They’re “stuck” in Ukraine, just like John Kerry said of our troops being “stuck in Iraq.”
So?
