Just the reply I was expecting, thanks for walking right into the trap where you conveniently failed to even mention the opposition part.

And I'm the troll.

Edit:

Even Foreign Policy isn't as one-sided as you are in their portrayal of the situation:

Concern over the decision to postpone Ukraine’s elections has come from both Ukraine’s friends and foes. [...] On the other hand, PACE President Tiny Kox said that while he recognizes the enormity of the struggle Ukraine faces, the country must uphold its obligations under international agreements to hold elections. “It is up to [Ukraine] how to solve this challenge,” he told a Council of Europe summit in May, adding that “there will be no complaints against Ukraine if the elections are not ideal. But if you do not hold elections, then everyone will have questions about you … without elections, democracy is impossible.”

Unless PACE is also just a Russian troll. 🤡

But indeed, elections during war/state of emergency are unconstitutional and highly impractible. Still funny you dodged the opposition point I made.
