Fedorov Calls for Wartime Elections, Says Putin Shouldn’t Decide When Ukrainians Vote

Fedorov has called for Ukraine to hold elections during wartime, arguing that Russian President Vladimir Putin should not decide when Ukrainians can vote. The proposal comes amid ongoing debate over whether elections can be conducted safely while the conflict continues. Supporters say voting could reinforce democratic legitimacy, while critics warn that active fighting, displacement, and security risks could undermine the process. Any decision would require legal changes and broad political agreement in Kyiv, as well as international support for implementation.
