No New Election

Ukraine is under heavy pressure by the war, where it defends itself against Russian aggression. There should have been a presidential election, but all Ukrainans seem to agree that the election can wait until after the war. It would be difficult to hold an election with about a fifth of the territory occupied by Russia and many citizens as refugees abroad. 

Ironically, it seems like the only critique against Ukraine for not having a presidential election come from Russia. Russia has a worse record as a democracy. The Russians should look to themselves before accusing others of having a flawed democracy. It is Ukraine that fights for freedom and democracy.
