Regarding elections in Ukraine that Trump wants, my 5 cents. Fact number one - Trump is not respected person in Ukraine, to put it mildly. Fact number two - ukrainians don't want elections now, one million reasons, don't want to explain long now. So. for ukrainians this elections will look like - Trump wants us to get rid of Zelensky. Guess for yourself what the result will be

"Pausing" elections during times of war is not uncommon, IIRC Britain didn't have major elections during WW2.
It's not simple to run a fair election in peacetime, running one while part of the country is under enemy control + bombs are falling doesn't exactly make it easier.
It's a Russian talking point and a pretty easy one to figure out (elections in Russia are rigged).
I know all that and more, I just wanted to say that even if they are held result will be the opposite.
so the whole situation is hypocritical, two persons who don't give a shit about democracy demanding elections
