I only ever see pro Russian individuals calling for elections in Ukraine. A majority of Ukrainian's don't want elections until the war is over, and unless that changes I see no reason to force the issue.

How Russia’s Fatalities Compare With Ukraine’s Economist Staff The EconomistFebruary 25, 2026DatabaseThe Economist estimates one in 25 Russian men btw the ages of 18 and 49 have been killed or wounded in Ukraine since 2022. CSIS estimates Ukrainian casualties at one in 16. Russian losses are escalating; today it is “losing more men than it can recruit.”

Our model suggests that Russian casualties are now between 1.1m and 1.4m, of whom 230,000-430,000 are dead. That would mean one in 25 Russian men between the ages of 18 and 49 may have been killed or severely wounded since the start of the full-scale war. There are too few reliable estimates of Ukrainian deaths to construct a similar meta-estimate. One single estimate, published on January 27th by CSIS, a think-tank, put total Ukrainian casualties at 600,000 as of December, including 100,000-140,000 dead. Though much lower than Russia’s casualties in absolute terms, as a share of its population it is higher—equivalent to about one in 16 Ukrainian men aged 18-49 before the war. These figures exclude civilian deaths, for which reliable data are scarcer still. Ukrainian losses appeared heaviest early in the war: American officials estimated that 70,000 soldiers had already been killed by August 2023.

Russia’s campaign, by contrast, has only grown bloodier. Some estimates suggest that it is now losing roughly 1,000 soldiers a day. Our modelling shows that as many may have died in the past year as in the first three combined. It is losing more men than it can recruit.

So your source still say 57% of Ukrainian's want an election but there president refuses. ""I believe that ​if we want to destroy the country, then we can move towards elections ​during this kind of war," Zelenskiy said."
He refuses one not because it would destroy Ukrainians people but because he lose to better candidates. He pulling a Benjamin Netanyahu right now.

If trump canceled the election because we were at war with Iran,  we would riot and burn down the white house and you know it.
Usa handles ballots for military on duty just fine.

President Zelenskiy is full of shit with democracy just like most European countries.

Why do you lie so much?  It says 57 percent only want an election after the fighting ends.  You do this all the time.

If a statistic said 57% of Russians believe Putin was elected fairly, you'd all toss that as propaganda or terrified citizens being coerced. And sure, maybe.

But you guys never question Ukrainians. No chance in your mind that Ukrainians would also be susceptible to an authoritarian government that can legally perpetuate, whether they support the war or not.

Also interesting how they can hold polls but not elections? And I assume the government is running the poll. Where's the concern that they adequately polled people in occupied territory? No fearmongering that polled people in occupied land can't be trusted to answer the poll honestly with Russian guns at their back? No mocking Ukrainians that volunteered to carry Trump-supplied weapons into battle for orange god? No mocking Zelenskyy for licking the boot clean, even after we treated him like disposable trash and forced him to sign away half their natural resources? You guys are so inconsistent.
