I’m not sure of your intent, but the alternative is to lay down, let Russia take the country, and then see how many soldiers and civilians are executed and their children abducted.

That’s a foregone conclusion if Trump can strong arm Ukraine into elections and Zelenskyy gets washed (as looks increasingly likely given how unpopular he’s become). Then control tilts back to a bunch of Russia-friendly Ukrainian business goons more interested in doing deals than fighting over turf.
How many poorly equipped press-ganged infantrymen want to die for Ihor Kolomoisky’s vision of a future Ukraine?
It’s common sense really. It’s impossible to have a fair election when you’re at war. A good portion of voting age men are on the front lines. Way too many opportunities for an external force to affect the results
Maybe don’t rely on rt for news… zelensky’s popularity shot up after Trump and Vance’s oval office disgrace. Trump then sent people to try to convince zelensky’s opposition to push for elections, and even the opposition told them to fuck off.
More Ukrainian conscripts, obviously. Just keep throwing out waves of them until the Russian front line breaks.
I bet your favorite pickup line is “Stop squirming!”
Ironic given the support this sub shows for involuntary conscription

Ukrainian constitution prohibits elections during war.
If there is peace, Zelenskyy himself has said he wants an election.
Under martial law, specifically, it seems.
One hell of a state of exception they’ve got there. Can’t imagine why anyone in power would want it to drag on indefinitely.

How many elections has the US held during war time? Hell Lincoln won his second term before the Civil War was over.

So he’ll be excited about holding elections?
Keep telling yourself that
Lmao. You’re either a tankie or a Russian. In both cases, get out of here.
Smells like Russian, you can tell from a mile a way
One can be both! Oh wait…I’ve just been informed the tanks are on hella backorder. :)
Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦
