Zelenskyy warns elections during war would destroy Ukraine
In Ukraine, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected calls for elections during the ongoing war with Russia, stating that such a move would risk splitting the country. His comments followed former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov's proposal for wartime elections, which he argued were necessary for restoring democratic processes. Zelenskyy emphasized the lack of security guarantees for conducting elections safely and highlighted the internal conflict that led to Fedorov's dismissal, which sparked protests across the nation.
