Ukraine hasn’t had an election in 7 years.
- ajam1507 9mo agoNot holding elections during a war does not mean you aren't a democracy.
- lurk2 9mo agoYes it does.
- Anamon 9mo agoNo, it doesn't. Ukrainians have been repeatedly polled and the majority don't want to hold elections in wartime. That's democratic. Holding an election while a foreign aggressor is occupying part of your territory and terrorising its population, enabling them to suppress and manipulate their votes: that's undemocratic.
