Former defense minister Fedorov calls on Ukrainian parliament to prepare post-war election rules

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who was dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, has urged parliament to lay the legal groundwork for future post-war elections while martial law remains active.

Ukrainian law currently bans national voting during wartime, and Zelensky has repeatedly dismissed holding elections during the conflict, citing severe security threats and logistical difficulties. However, Fedorov argued that establishing clear electoral rules in advance is essential to ensure democratic standards and political stability following the end of hostilities. His statements reflect growing discussions in Kyiv regarding the political transition after the war.
