Former head of Ukraine’s Defense Ministry Mykhailo Fedorov spoke in favor of holding elections in the country.

The former minister published a video address on YouTube, where he stated that there is a crisis in public administration and a need to “restore a full-fledged democratic process even under conditions of a prolonged war.”

“If the war continues for another year, two, three, can Russia effectively gain the right to determine when Ukrainians will again be able to choose their government? I am convinced it cannot. Democracy cannot be held hostage by Russia. We are fighting precisely because we want to remain a free European state. Therefore, we must find a legal, safe, and realistic mechanism that will allow Ukraine to restore a full-fledged democratic process even under conditions of a prolonged war,” he noted.

According to Fedorov, holding a vote under wartime conditions will be difficult, but difficulty “does not mean impossibility.”
