There haven't been free and fair elections in Ukraine since 2019 and that doesn't seem to bother the Left at all. Maybe because we're sane and understand that holding elections under wartime conditions is ill advised and also against their law? It's a trifecta:
1. Bad Idea during war time.
2. Ukrainian law doesn't allow for elections during wartime.
3. Polling shows Ukrainians don't want elections during wartime.
"Polling data consistently indicates that a
majority of Ukrainians oppose holding elections while the war continues. A September-October 2024 survey conducted by the Rating sociological group for the Centre for Analysis and Sociological Research (CISR) of the International Republican Institute (IRI) found that 60 percent of Ukrainians did not support elections under current wartime conditions. By February 2025, this figure had risen slightly to 63 percent, according to a survey by the Sociological Center “Sotsis.” Conversely,
only 15 percent of Ukrainians surveyed by Sotsis supported holding elections during the war, underscoring broad public concern over security risks and the logistical difficulties of organizing a fair and transparent vote."
