Always small
This guy
The Ukraine constitution doesn't stop election during war its only stops parliamentary election.
Corruption and compensatory optics is the cause why Ukraine is in dire situation.
Zelensky and his western mafia can't afford elections because:
1. He can't win
2. He lose power and war ends
3. The war end they lose blank checks from Europe.
4. They can find themselves before courts for corruption,war crimes,….
War is a chance for some to stay on power and get rich.
So the President can declare martial law, and then no new elections can be held until he allows them? … sounds like a dictatorship IMHO…
Somebody really wants that high paying job back.
She's making excuses. Only Tyrants find reasons not to have elections. Oh and why do the West always have Zelensky's political party PM's on? Why don't they ever bring in the opposition party for their views? 🙄🙄
Zelenski is the worst leader that Ukraine ever had since it's creation, more Ukrainians died under his leadership than ever before.
Federal elections during wartime ist absurd. Fedorov crossed a line most Ukrainians wont forgive him for, using russian talking points and pseudo-arguments. Unfortunately, he seemed to have been a really good defense minister
BYE!!!!!!
Good bye,,,,,!
4:48 nothing to do with Zelensky targetting Moscow and Kremlin burning kiev to the ground in retaliation…
How would the technology of 100 years ago did England managed to hold elections during the bombing campaign of world war II?
