Former Ukrainian minister calls for post-war election framework

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called on parliament to begin drafting a legal framework for future post-war elections. Fedorov, who was dismissed from his cabinet post by President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, stressed that preliminary administrative steps are crucial to manage complex logistics once fighting stops.

Although national elections remain legally suspended under ongoing martial law, advocates for early legislative preparations argue that establishing rules now will protect the voting rights of millions of displaced Ukrainians and frontline troops. Lawmakers initiating these preparations aim to ensure a transparent democratic process whenever security conditions allow voting to take place.
