    Not only is it “hard,” it is spelled out in the UA constitution that this is what happens when there’s a war going on in Ukraine.

      Wow! Looked that up and seems you are exactly right, kicks in with a declaration of martial law.

        Yup. So when you hear people hollering about how “Zelenskyy halted elections!” - it’s because that’s what the constitution demands.

      Human rights and democracy are above the law. If the law contradicts them, then the law is wrong.

        You know what created the situation where Ukraine had to pause elections? Russia’s invasion. You know when elections will resume in Ukraine? When Russia fucks off.

        But, sure, blame Ukraine for that.

          What a pointless comment. I’m not blaming them for being invaded, that’s absurd. They are responsible for their own actions. No more, no less. Why do you think the invasion means the Ukrainian government no longer has agency in the territories it controls?
