“Elections during a war can tear the country apart from within,” — politicians and activists on possible voting
Yesterday former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov issued a statement on the need to hold elections. At the same time, representatives of various political forces and the civic sector agree that such a scenario now carries serious risks.
📍People's Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak said he does not support either presidential or parliamentary elections during the war, separately emphasizing the constitutional constraints.
📍People's Deputy from European Solidarity Mykola Kniazhytsky warned that an election campaign could exacerbate internal conflicts and weaken the country: “The Kremlin counts on an election campaign during the war to set Ukrainians against each other and weaken the state from within.”
📍A similar position is held by one of the protest organizers, Dmytro Koziatynskyi: “We are in a full-scale war; elections in Ukraine are impossible. Talking now about ratings and political campaigning is ridiculous.”
