8:10Now PlayingUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Sunday rejected calls for an election amid war, insisting that holding polls during wartime could be too dangerous for the country. The remarks from Zelenskyy came just days after former Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov said that the government should hold elections.
"I believe that in a war like this, elections as such are a huge risk. Elections right now are a tsunami for the country that will split Ukraine," Zelenskyy said on Sunday morning. Fedorov said on Wednesday that the elections are necessary since the country is facing a "crisis of governance". However, it is pertinent to note that Ukrainian law prohibits holding elections in the middle of a war. "Democracy cannot be held hostage by Russia," Fedorov said in a video address posted on YouTube. "We must find a legal, safe and realistic mechanism that will allow Ukraine to renew its full democratic process even in the conditions of a long war."
