More hyperbole from the media based on the stupid drivel that pours out of the old man Trumps mouth.

Ukraine will have an election after the war is over. That has always been true.

Yes. Their law doesn’t allow elections when martial law is in effect and it also states that the current president will hold office as long as the successor has been chosen. Plus, if I’m not mistaken, it was Ukrainian parliament (or whatever they’re called) who decided to not run elections, not Zelensky himself.

Also that 4% approval is complete bullshit, as the article states. If something Zelensky has a bit higher approval than before.

Please link to the part of their constitution that states the presidential elections are suspended during martial law. I’ll wait cause it’s not there.

Article 83

In the event that the term of authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine expires while martial law or a state of emergency is in effect, its authority is extended until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine , elected after the cancellation of martial law or of the state of emergency.

From my 10 minutes of searching: Doesn’t seem like the president is part of the Verkhovna Rada but from what i can tell the law is being interpreted that if they can’t change what’s the point of elections for president.

There likely won’t be an Ukraine left to have elections if the war isn’t over soon.

I knew Ukraine would get fucked one day. Just letting people know this is also how the Middle East was created using this tactic. I find it hilarious.

Even the delusional marvel brained libs who thought Ukraine was gonna steamroll Russia should have known, best case scenario, the US ends up with a Saddam in Eastern Europe.

But they don’t remember last month’s headlines, tall order getting them to read any real history.

“could be ousted”

Uhhhhhh no.

Nobody in their right mind would listen to this.

The Russian Puppet never intended to allow support to continue and is making shit up to try and justify halting aid without serious backlash.

Musketrump and the MAGAts can get fucked. Unless they’re willing to go to war to enforce it, there’s 0 chance of it happening. And if they go to war for that, they’re going to have a hell of a lot of internal conflict that will absolutely result in blood. Militarily and civilian.
