Zelenskyy: First, a just peace, then fair elections

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that no one in the world is demanding that Ukraine hold elections during martial law. Source: Zelenskyy during an address to the Ukrainian parliament on 19 November Details: Zelenskyy noted that the Constitution of Ukraine and its legislation do not permit elections during wartime.

Quote from Zelenskyy: "No one in the world has demanded or is demanding this from Ukraine.

However, within Ukraine, some individuals seem so eager for this that they appear more focused on internal conflicts than on defending the state. They want political debates to take place in the trenches, as if they were TV studios. This is harmful to Ukraine.  

Ukraine needs a just peace first, and only then will Ukrainians hold fair elections."
