1) The majority of Ukrainians did not want to hold elections. Polls have been done on this. Polling places would be massive targets, for one, but also it would be a logistical disaster. Half of the country is displaced either internally or in occupied territory or a refugee in Europe or on the front lines where unnecessary rotations would be dangerous. Overcoming those problems would require a lot of money, during a period when Ukraine is struggling to pay their soldiers and keep the country running. 2) The Ukrainian Constitution explicitly shuts down elections during wartime by default. It would be more legally challenging to have one, than to not have one.
