As most would anticipate, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has rejected the request for a Ukraine election made by former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov.
Zelenskyy noted that Fedorov himself might challenge the ‘new democracy‘ regime of Zelenskyy, and therefore the risks are too great.
(via Politico) – Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Saturday flatly rejected a call by his former defense chief to send the country to the ballot box.
“I believe that during a war like this, elections in general pose major risks,” Zelenskyy told journalists — including POLITICO — behind closed doors.
A vote “right now would be a tsunami for the state, one that would divide Ukraine,” the Ukrainian president said. He added that his strategy is “to bring the country to the end of the war and preserve an independent and sovereign state.”
His remarks come after former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov — ousted from his government role in July following a controversial reshuffle — called for elections earlier this week.
“If our partners offer us specific conditions under which elections can be held … safely, legitimately and democratically,” with the participation of soldiers on the front line and citizens who fled to other countries to escape the war, “then let’s discuss it,” Zelenskyy continued. But “it is impossible under the conditions we have right now, when Putin refuses to agree to any form of ceasefire,” he argued.
Fedorov has emerged as a rival to the current president. In a video address Tuesday, he argued that “people cannot endlessly live in a state where they do not understand why certain decisions are made.” (more)
I have noticed an extreme uptick in Russia/Putin on the verge of collapse Videos and Shorts on YouTube. I don’t pay it any mind but I am getting barraged left and right. I only go on YouTube for Hard Rock, Progressive Rock, Blues and Jazz Fusion discussions. I also follow some Food reviewers, Fencing videos and Historical Restoration projects.
Obviously, when you are losing badly, and your proxy attempt to fulfill “Operation Unthinkable” is falling apart, you get on the megaphone and claim that you’ve almost won. Some people will believe you.
Russians don’t fight wars like Westerners do. (“Bomb the hell out of soldier and civilian alike, and take Territory.”) They never have. They told you on day one what their objectives were, and still are. They have strength, and: Patience.
You see, Europeans don’t remember what “War” is, or what it costs. The Russians, on the other hand, observe “Victory Day” with its “ghost regiment.” They will never allow their people to forget.
No doubt the Prizrak have been working comfortably inside Ukraine. It’s only a matter of time and patience.
If the propaganda is to be believed, Putin is as doddery as Joe. I don’t believe it.
“Propaganda” is a fundamental part of War. You cannot avoid it.
All one need to is watch him answer questions at a LIVE press conference to see that he has a very strong hold on his faculties.

Now you’ve done it! I’ll be wasting time watching Epee videos now. Except for weapon choice, our feeds probably look very similar. 😁
So in other words, Z-Man knows he’d get steamrolled in an election so the diminutive dictator is not about to allow it.

🤨 Why does POLITICO need to add that extra spin? Just report what Zelenskyy said and let readers draw their own conclusions
Every dictator says that…
It’s how the media et al influence thinking. It’s called “propaganda.”
Just like the left won’t support election integrity because it “suppresses voters,”(Yes, illegal voting), Sniffy says elections pose “major risks”….its only a major risk to him.
Wasn’t it slotkin who said who said the quiet part out loud about that somewhat recently that got very little coverage? It was sometime before our “elected officials ” went on another week’s long vacation.
80% of our country supports this, yet a handful of people give us the giant middle finger while still getting paid.
Zelenski would lose if the elections were honest and would be tossed out the door with less fanfare than when Trump booted him from the Whitehouse.
Ah, I believe the ‘Lil Man is looking at a whole lot worse than just getting tossed out the door should he lose an honest election, like perhaps hanging?
Although, yes! On the other hand, it does seem to be quite “fashionable” nowadays to loot and steal millions of $$$ from Government Treasurys w/o consequences.
Tie noise makers to his feet and make him a windchime? Just thinking outlook.
LOL
It is the visuals that are making me laugh!

Check out the new black outfit for the ceremonies...HA
China is receiving the instructions from 😛
Zelensky on Putin:
China can no longer remain silent when someone dresses up in a sailor suit and military cap and, badly pronouncing certain words, talks about a nuclear strike.
China must respond. It must cool this fervor. China must prove its ambition to be one of the world’s leaders — not only economically and technologically, but also civilizationally — by making it clear that no dictator has the right to threaten the planet with his old nuclear warheads.
In other words: “If we can’t start WW3, China must do so.”
Maybe it’s time that the issue of Zelensky is taken care of by his own citizens….internally.
“I believe that during a war like this, elections in general pose major risks,” said every leftist dictator ever.
I’m 66 years old, and I am quite certain that we will hear those words here in the United States in my lifetime.
Only if we get another Democrat in the White House.
The RepubliCon wing of the UniParty is chock full of wanna be tyrants who would be pleased and proud to utter those words.

The photo of Zelinski with glasses, studying papers is the purest form of propaganda.
At the most recent document signing for Ukrainian aid in Kyiv, the attending dignitaries were surprised Volodymyr Zelenskyy does not use glasses.
He drinks Vodka straight from the bottle.
How long has this been going on…check out the message from 2024
Elensky interview with The Economist:
You support you, now give me money.
“You support you yourself, giving us money or giving us weapons, you support yourself.”
Yep. There it is in a nutshell.
Emphasis on the word “nut”
I wonder how much gold Pence was paid for his trip to Ukraine? Judas has a price.
He’s got a new “book deal” to hide it.
Elections to a corrupt dictator are like mirrors and garlic to a vampire.
Nothing screams ” democracy” like cancelled elections.
Just ask Romania.
Shocker.
“I believe that during a war like this, elections in general pose major risks,” Zelenskyy told journalists — including POLITICO — behind closed doors.
Because this is what GARDEN GNOMES DO!!
😂 🤣 😂 🤣
History Books tell us that people like him leave power in exactly one way. 💀
Just ask the ghost of Mussolini … (The Italians always did have a certain flair for theatre.)
Zman has concerns (rightly) about his long-term safety should he (likely) lose an election.
I can’t stand that guy. I hope someone removes him somehow. I’m sick and tired of seeing him and reading about his BS back stabbing grift. Let the EU take care of them . I would totally abandon Ukraine and let Russia or the UK take care of them. I would not send them any weapons or cash again. I hope Russia steamrolls right over them. I’m sure more than a few Ukrainians want the same thing. I’m sick of the games and that country being used as an ATM to laundry trillions of dollars for politicians everywhere the USA and UK.Of course all the money comes from the USA. In short F U
I never tire of seeing this photo of SOS Marco Rubio giving the little cocaine sniffing, perverted runt this look of total disgust and revulsion!
As for pence the other perverted, insignificant, traitor visiting him, “well, sleep with dogs, wake up with fleas.” Guess pence is running out of money and needs to “get back in the game” since “we the people patriots” have rejected both these creepy, crawling vermin.
Now, insignificant burnham shows up to discuss drones! If this whole war was not such a tragedy and travesty to the Ukrainian people, not the “nazis” infested there and the little demon gnome running things, the people could try to get back to living a better life. It is so sad they have lost a whole generation to this war generated by the other pervert, “the light bringer”, another perverted, demon possessed, fraudulent elected, despot wanna be “dicktator!”(spelling is purposeful , not an accident).
So weary of this whole scene, thanks CTH for giving me a place to rant!
Remember when that fly landed on Pence’s forehead? We didn’t know it at the time, but he was a walking, talking pile of barnyard excrement. Flies are always drawn to rotting things.
Now, now Odie, barnyard excrement makes great fertilizer, dog excrement, on the other hand, just stinks and draws flies!

Pot is starting to boil..
Puppet dictators always know what’s best for the people they subjugate.

With $election machines etc, there should be no fear of having an ‘election’.
( unless there is a legit fear that a large turnout of honest people voting would overwhelm the fraud $election $ystem…making it too big to rig. )
[ Has that ever before happened? ; ) People know….]
Imho
Free and fair elections have become a thing of the past, EVERYWHERE
The mini-me tyrant doesn’t want elections. How surprising.
There are billions at stake…
Elections and a ceasefire period might even be supported by Russia but does anybody think they could actually pull it off without all the different forces trying to manipulate, cheat, influence, and possibly murder some candidates?
The other thing here is that elections with international monitoring might actually be a way to kick off a peace initiative. Another reason Z and EU won’t go along.
It would be interesting to see how the EU reacts to a PDJT call for ceasefire and elections. In fact, if Trump could get Putin to agree to an election ceasefire and Ukraine still won’t hold an election, then that would be a damn good reason to tell the world, we’re done.
Is Major Risks some new Ukrainian military officer?
I find it so interesting that the left protests “no kings” and calls President Trump a dictator, then rallies for the little dictator over in Ukraine. It boggles the mind
Little Z is known about it only a little man, he’s a little sh!t.
i smell a color revo / regime change coming on… this useful idiot hit his sell-by date long ago
no more $$$$$$ to this nazi
I wonder why littlez is against ending the war..
See post below:
We can’t have elections because the others are dictators.
Clown show. EU is pathetic.
President Trumps fence sitting on the conflict helped create another dictator in the world. History will show him being on the wrong side of the war.
Of course, Zelensky will make sure the war never ends so he never has to have elections. At his rate, there will be no Ukrainian men left to vote.
We never should have gotten involved in this petty turf war. We’ve turned it into a horrific meat grinder in service of the very worst of the USA, EU, UK, and UKR. Way past time to pull the plug.
We should be well on the way to normalized, if not downright friendly relations with the only other Christian superpower on the planet. Let’s not follow Bribem, <0bastitch, etc to Hell, but they can and will take Zelenscam with them. Only question is how much blood and treasure will be needlessly wasted in the meantime. Already way too much!
Fedorov is not suicidal. Just saying.
