Original Note:
Zelenskyy is a legitimately democratically elected president. Constitutionally, Ukraine cannot hold elections under martial law (Art. 19(1)). The law specifically provides that, if the president's term expires whilst under martial law, it shall be extended (Art. 11(3)). https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/389-19#Text https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-parliament-extends-martial-law-mobilization/32807978.html
