Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has sharply criticized a proposal to hold national elections during wartime, warning that doing so would risk destroying and splitting the country. The idea, reportedly floated by Mykhailo Fedorov, was dismissed by the president as a dangerous 'tsunami' for the state.
The rejection of wartime voting comes as Ukraine faces heightened security threats, including Russia amassing ballistic missiles and weighing further military actions against the nation.
