- Mykhailo Fedorov, Ukraine's former defense minister and longtime political ally of Zelensky, publicly called for a legal pathway to hold wartime elections in Ukraine.
- Ukraine's constitution explicitly forbids elections during wartime, creating a direct legal obstacle to Fedorov's proposal.
Why it matters: The call from Zelensky's own former defense minister and longtime political ally exposes internal pressure on the wartime political consensus around Zelensky's leadership, though Ukraine's constitutional ban on wartime voting means Fedorov's proposal faces an immediate legal obstacle.
