    he canceled elections.

    Elections are not allowed to take place by law, during “martial law”. A state Ukraine has been in since the Russians invaded their country.

    But don’t let that fact get in the way of your propaganda. By all means.

          no part of Article 83 says anything about presidential elections. At least try lying about something that’s not so obvious

          Article 83

          Regular sessions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine commence on the first Tuesday of February and on the first Tuesday of September each year. Special sessions of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, with the stipulation of their agenda, are convoked by the Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, on the demand of no fewer National Deputies of Ukraine than one-third of the constitutional composi tion of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, or on the demand of the President of Ukraine. In the event of the introduction of martial law or of a state of emergency in Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine assembles within a period of two days without convocation. In the event that the term of authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine expires while martial law or a state of emergency is in effect, its authority is extended until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine , elected after the cancellation of martial law or of the state of emergency.

            Would you mind reading that last sentence for the class out loud? Here. I’ll even highlight it for you.

            In the event that the term of authority of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine expires while martial law or a state of emergency is in effect, its authority is extended until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine , elected after the cancellation of martial law or of the state of emergency.

              That refers to the Verkhovna Rada which is the parliament, it says absolutely nothing about presidential election. Thanks for confirming that you are indeed an ignoramus who doesn’t have the first clue about the subject you’re attempting to debate here.

                The only one who is clueless here is you. It extends to the presidency.

                But since you need to be educated on the matter. Here are their laws on the matter of Martial Law.

                But don’t worry. You don’t need to read it all, I highlighted Article 19 and 10. And just for you. I also translated it. On the slight chance you don’t know any ukranian.

                https://zakon.rada.gov.ua/laws/show/389-19

                Стаття 19. Гарантії законності в умовах воєнного стану

                1. В умовах воєнного стану забороняються: зміна Конституції України; зміна Конституції Автономної Республіки Крим; проведення виборів Президента України, а також виборів до Верховної Ради України, Верховної Ради Автономної Республіки Крим і органів місцевого самоврядування;

                проведення всеукраїнських та місцевих референдумів;

                проведення страйків, масових зібрань та акцій.

                Стаття 10. Неприпустимість припинення повноважень органів державної влади, інших державних органів в умовах воєнного стану

                1. У період дії воєнного стану не можуть бути припинені повноваження Президента України, Верховної Ради України, Кабінету Міністрів України, Національного банку України, Уповноваженого Верховної Ради України з прав людини, Рахункової палати, судів, органів прокуратури, органів, що здійснюють оперативно-розшукову діяльність, досудове розслідування, розвідувальних органів та органів, підрозділи яких здійснюють контррозвідувальну діяльність.

                And here it is in english.

                Article 19. Guarantees of legality in martial law

                1. In martial law, the following are prohibited: amending the Constitution of Ukraine; amending the Constitution of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea;

                holding elections of the President of Ukraine, as well as elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and local self-government bodies;

                holding all-Ukrainian and local referendums;

                holding strikes, mass gatherings and rallies.

                Article 10. Inadmissibility of termination of powers of state authorities and other state bodies during martial law

                1. During the period of martial law, the powers of the President of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine, the National Bank of Ukraine, the Commissioner for Human Rights of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Accounting Chamber, courts, prosecutor’s offices, bodies carrying out operational and investigative activities, pre-trial investigation, intelligence bodies and bodies whose units carry out counterintelligence activities may not be terminated.

                So… what was that about me lying? Something about me not understanding what I’m talking about? That’s ok. You can apologize now and you might just look a little less stupid.

                  i see your reading comprehension is poor. It says nothing about elections being suspended. It says that they can’t be removed from office by force. You can apologize now and you might just look a little less stupid.

                    I think maybe I wrote too much text for you to read. Let us look at what Article 19 says again.

                    In martial law, the following are prohibited: amending the Constitution of Ukraine; amending the Constitution of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea; holding elections of the President of Ukraine, as well as elections to the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and local self-government bodies;

                    Wait. Let’s zoom in on that.

                    In martial law, the following are prohibited:

                    holding elections of the President of Ukraine

                    What was it you said again?

                    i see your reading comprehension is poor. It says nothing about elections being suspended.

                    You’re right. It doesnt say anything about them being suspended. It says they’re prohibited. Maybe you’d know that if you actually managed to read the words.

                    Something something reading comprehension?
