Spectator.co.uk so mainstream its the first time I even hear about them.
What you linked is an opinion piece by an anonymous “author” with no sources or anything to back up any claim.
You’ll have to do better than that. Let’s not forget which one of us is a proven liar in this discussion. We all have the history to prove it
Your description of events doesn’t match reality. You just make up whatever sounds good and then tell people they’re the ones who need to prove you wrong.
Just like you made up that Zelenaky had canceled elections. I had to quote and link you the actual law, thrice, because you couldn’t comprehend what was written.
So much for your “knowledge”
Cute little mimic game you got going. Truly playing the part of a child.
The people have the power to elect governments. And the people have the power to oust governments. That is Democracy at display.
You’ve categorically been willfully ignorant and proven wrong throughout this entire discussion. Your meager attempts at insulting me over and over won’t change anything, and only exposes you for the manchild you are.
Article 19 has not been amended once since the document was released on the internet in 2015.
I’m sure you are aware of who the president of Ukraine was in 2015.
But like I said at the very start. Don’t let the facts get in the way of your propaganda.
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?
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.

And here it is in english.
Article 19. Guarantees of legality in martial law
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;

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.
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.
The part called Article 83.
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.
I can tell you’ve never been to France…
They’re not exactly known for respecting rules they don’t agree with.
That, along with having the largest % of smokers in Europe, doesn’t make it a great place if you want to enjoy smokeless parks.
