Original Note:
The Ukrainian Constitution prohibits elections during times of war (or during martial law). The Ukrainian Parliament approved martial law after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. This is not without precedent in democracies, as British as suspended elections during WW2. https://www.bbc.co.uk/bitesize/guides/zgmf2nb/revision/4 https://n-ost.org/news/constitution-put-to-test-during-martial-law https://kyivindependent.com/parliament-approves-extension-of-martial-law/
