Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky stated that conducting elections during the ongoing war with Russia would 'destroy' the country, calling it a 'tsunami' that would divide the nation. He emphasized his strategy is to end the war and preserve sovereignty, noting that Ukrainian law prohibits wartime elections. His remarks follow calls from ousted Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov for a wartime poll, which Zelensky criticized as misguided.
