**On 2 November, the Ukrainian media reported that the Ukrainian government was planning to hold elections next year. On 3 November, abroad Minister Dmytro Kuleba reportedly said that this issue was inactive being discussed. [On Monday, November 6, Volodymyr Zelensky announced] (https://defence24.pl/geopolityka/ukraina-to-nie-czas-na-wybory) that "now is the time of war, there are many challenges, and it would be completely irresponsible to throw the issue of elections lightly and cheerfully into society". Although only the presidential elections were discussed, the very fact that the ruling camp was talking about this issue was a worrying signal. Earlier, Volodymyr Zelensky besides ruled out the anticipation of holding elections in wartime conditions. What has changed that their issue has abruptly become a subject of discussion in the President's Office? And why elections at this point are a truly bad thought (legal aside).**
