Ukraine's former defense minister urges preparation for post-war elections

Former Ukrainian Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called on parliament to begin drafting legal frameworks for post-war elections, despite active martial law prohibiting immediate voting. Fedorov, who was dismissed by President Volodymyr Zelensky in July, stressed that early legislative preparations are essential to handle complex logistical hurdles once hostilities cease.

Key challenges include facilitating voting for millions of displaced Ukrainians residing across Europe, as well as military personnel deployed along the front lines. Establishing these procedures in advance aims to safeguard democratic continuity and ensure an orderly political transition after the conflict.
