They will say that the Ukrainian constitution forbids elections under martial law, when in fact this is only for the Verkhovnaya Rada, and not the Presidential post. And besides, it's not like the constitution told Zelensky he should ban the opposition parties lmfao.

Liberals will spread misinformation like wildfire because their American-propagandized worldview depends on it.

It's both. Article 11 part 2.3 of this, translated below:

  1. In the event that the term of office of the President of Ukraine expires during martial law, his powers shall be extended until the newly elected President of Ukraine, elected after the abolition of martial law, takes office.

This part was added by the Verkhovna Rada in December 2022, within their original term and also Zelenskyy's.
