US Vice President JD Vance has criticised the absence of elections in Ukraine during martial law, calling the refusal to hold them amidst the war “preposterous”.

Quote: “I think that it’s a little rich for some of our European friends to attack Donald Trump for suggesting that Ukraine should have elections when they say that this is a war for democracy.
How can you attack elections when your entire framing for the war in Ukraine is that it’s a war for democracy? I just think it’s ridiculous.
And, of course, the United States had a civil war. We had an election in, of course, at the, at the end of as scheduled. You know, Churchill found out that he lost. As I understand it, he found out that he lost the British election at Potsdam.”
Details: Vance considers the idea that elections cannot be held during war “preposterous”.
Quote: “And the President [Trump – ed.] has made very clear that he thinks that should happen. So, you know, that is, that is American policy. And I think it’s. It’s pretty simple and straightforward.”
