Ukraine Election During War Faces Ceasefire and Legal Hurdles
Ukraine is considering whether it could hold an election during the war.
Political analyst Volodymyr Fesenko said an air ceasefire should come first.
A ceasefire would be an important step before serious planning begins.
Kyiv would also need to create new election laws.
These laws would explain when and how the vote should happen.
They would also set the rules and procedures.
Fesenko believes writing this framework could take about six months.
The report therefore describes both security and legal challenges to holding the election.
