      Under the Ukrainian constitution, they cannot hold an election while martial law is under effect. Much of the population (a majority?) is either displaced or in an occupied territory.

        The rules say no democracy while we’re doing a police state. Sorry those are the rules.

      Elections during a war would lead to the enemy interfering and installing a puppet government.

      Especially if we are talking about Russia.

        When I look up the definition of tankie I see something about authoritarian communism. Can you explain your comment I’m just curious

          Trying to get rid of Zelensky now is russian propaganda when only a small part of the country are able to vote. It would strip the democratic rights away from those living in captured territory.

            Don’t pretend this is about the people in Donetsk or Luhansk. Like those people had any democratic rights before the war…

          Everyone on .ml is a tankie. Everyone on .world is a fascist. Lemmy loves its serverism, unfortunately.

          People can’t comprehend that different people can have different opinions, apparently. There needs to be an easier explanation for it such as “tankie” or “fascist”. “Idiot/ignorant” is a much more believable explanation,.imo

      Elections would be good, but hard to do for 1/3 of the country

        Those were the parts of the country they were ethnically cleansing anyway. Besides, they banned the political parties that were popular there.

        And they already voted. To join Russia.
