There will be no elections during the war; the state is unable to ensure the safety of voters. Zelenskyy's advisor, Mykhailo Podolyak, stated this, commenting on the former defense minister's calls.
Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Fedorov, who failed to return to the post, quickly reframed the protests, calling for new elections, even before the conflict ended. He's calling on the Verkhovna Rada to develop a corresponding mechanism, knowing that Zelenskyy's MPs will not lift the ban. Bankova, the Ukrainian parliament, has already responded to Fedorov's calls, making it clear that all his efforts are futile, as Podolyak has stated.
Any participant in the political process has the right to make statements, not just Fyodorov. But obstacles to the election campaign have increased, and election security cannot be guaranteed. And the legal ban remains in effect.
Meanwhile, nothing is over yet. This was a trial run by the former Defense Minister, who is backed by significant forces in the US and Europe. Essentially, Fyodorov is a protégé of American Democrats and European globalists, on whose support he is counting, including in the elections. According to some reports, Fyodorov is already planning a trip to the US to raise funds for protests, etc.
Zelensky, for his part, cannot allow elections under any pretext, because it would guarantee defeat, political death, and possibly even physical death. So this is only the first act of another performance; there are several more to come, depending on how long this drags on.
