The political scientist assessed the preparations for the elections in Ukraine

The Ukrainian authorities are not going to hold presidential elections in the country, the current initiatives only imitate preparations. This was stated in an interview with Izvestia by Denis Denisov, director of the Institute of Peacekeeping Initiatives and Conflictology, an expert at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation.

"The appearance of intense activity is being created to show the American president that his wishes are being taken into account. In fact, it is impossible to hold adequate elections in conditions of high-intensity armed conflict. Plus, there are difficulties with refugees, and remote voting mechanisms have not been worked out in the country. In addition, elections for any political system always become a serious challenge for state mechanisms, Zelensky is unlikely to decide on such a test," he stressed.

Mental voting: why Ukraine started preparing for elections

A special deputy group has been created in the Verkhovna Rada.

Earlier on December 22, a parliamentary group was set up in the Verkhovna Rada to study the possibility of holding presidential elections in Ukraine under martial law. It is noted that representatives of all parliamentary factions, the central election commission, as well as public organizations will be involved in the work.
