If not for the war raging, presidential elections would have been scheduled for March of this year in Ukraine.
They weren't.Could incumbent President Volodymyr Zelensky have emerged as the winner after five years in power? Could he have won after demonstrating to the world his incapacity—or lack of desire—to combat the corruption that is corroding his country, at war as it was in peacetime?There is no chance of a definitive answer as History does not know the word 'if.
Although I do not endorse the idea of holding immediate elections, I believe that Zelensky's decision not to seek the intervention of the Constitutional Court poses a significant risk to both himself and the entire nation of Ukraine.Questions surrounding the Ukrainian president's authority could expose him as a lame duck to global leaders who consider him to be the main obstacle to finding a compromise solution to the ongoing war in Europe.
