Original Note:
Misleading. Zelensky did not cancel elections. The Constitution of Ukraine prevents elections while Ukraine is under martial law. https://war.ukraine.ua/articles/not-sacrificing-democracy-why-ukraine-cannot-hold-elections-under-the-martial-law/ https://www.oporaua.org/en/vybory/legal-information-on-the-impossibility-of-holding-elections-under-conditions-of-martial-law-24947 Besides, until Russia withdraws from Ukraine, not all Ukrainians can vote, even if an election was conducted in the midst of war.
