Ex-Ukrainian defense minister urges preparation for post-war elections

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called on parliament to draft the necessary legal provisions for holding national elections after martial law ends. Fedorov, who was dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, noted that early preparations are crucial to handle the electoral complexities following the conflict. Ukrainian law bans elections during martial law, but officials are considering how to facilitate voting for millions of displaced citizens and military personnel stationed on the front lines. Proactive legislative steps are seen as essential to avoid delays once peace returns.
