PoliticsZelenskyy says wartime elections could ‘destroy’ Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejects former Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov’s call for a wartime election, calling it a huge risk that could split Ukraine like a “tsunami”. Ukrainian law bans elections during wartime. Zelenskyy also discusses Russian strikes, ballistic-missile defence, satellite communications projects and a $27bn defence funding gap this year.
