That’s the end of democracy for Ukraine, then…
It is standard operating procedure to delay elections while your country is under attack. Resources used on election campaigns are far better utilised coming up with plans to help the country survive.
How would they collect votes in areas occupied by the Russians? Not to mention all the Ukrainians taking refuge abroad. Holding an election during wartime would not be fair and thus undemocratic.
Not yet. There have been other democracies that have postponed elections due to big emergencies like war and carried on as democracies just fine afterward. Britain during WWII, for example.
That’s what normally happens during war. Please try not to just say something.
