Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated in remarks made public on Sunday that holding wartime elections would "destroy the country" and act as a "tsunami" that would "split" Ukraine. He argued that organizing a vote during the ongoing conflict would be too dangerous.
The remarks follow a political crisis in Kyiv over the summer, which was triggered when Zelensky dismissed his popular defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov. Days after being fired, the former defense minister publicly called for the organization of a vote.
