Blaming Ukraine for Vlad's Invasion and the current disaster of war on civilians in Ukraine, and the inability hold real elections while fighting said war... is still equivalent to some ----- blaming the woman who was raped, saying she was that was because she was wearing a short skirt.
And then saying that the rapist was honestly elected as a rapist?
That's how silly you sound, MW.

"Zelenskyy should say a Churchillian "no" to wartime elections in Ukraine
If Winston Churchill were still with us, he would surely be advising Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to ignore international pressure to call elections.
Much like Ukrainians in 2023, the British in 1940 were fighting a war of national survival. Every October for five consecutive years, the wartime British government led by Winston Churchill obtained legislative consent to postpone scheduled elections and extend the life of the sitting British parliament.
Churchill's reasons for doing so were obvious and in many ways apply equally to today's Ukraine.
In 1940, Britain sought to avoid the distraction and potentially divisive impact of elections in order to maintain national resilience and focus all its energy on the war.
The Churchill government also recognized the impracticality of holding an election with millions of displaced people across and beyond the nation, and saw that it would be virtually impossible to ensure a fair test of public opinion with Britain under daily attack and engaged in a global war."

"The logistical obstacles to holding elections in wartime Ukraine are formidable. Approximately 20% of Ukrainian territory is currently under Russian occupation.
Many millions of Ukrainians are living outside the country as refugees, with millions more displaced internally. It would take considerable time and resources, to say the least, to create a credible electoral register.
The safety issues raised by a nationwide election campaign amid Russia's ongoing invasion are similarly immense. How could soldiers fighting on the front line effectively participate in the campaign?
Can politicians hold public meetings or campaign rallies without fear of being targeted by Russian air strikes? Aside from Kyiv, most Ukrainian cities have only limited air defenses. The prospect of holding any sort of public meeting in such conditions is fraught with danger.
The many safety concerns related to campaign meetings would apply equally to polling stations on election day.
A single Russian attack on a polling station during voting hours could easily result in dozens of deaths. Russia's track record for bombing civilian targets and public gatherings during the current war means there can be little doubt the Kremlin would seek to attack election-related events.
It is also reasonable to question the wisdom of exposing the country to a period of intense internal political competition amid a war of national survival. How could national unity be sustained through a three-month election campaign?"
