WorldUkraine's ex-defence minister calls for wartime elections
Ukraine’s recently dismissed defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called for elections to be held during wartime, arguing that democracy cannot be dictated by Russia and that Ukraine must restore a full democratic process despite the war. He urged safeguards for voting by troops, expatriates, and frontline residents and framed the move as a test of governance amid protests and ongoing political reshuffles.
