I saw news on this yesterday- pretty sure all of Zelenskyy's political opponents unanimously made public statements saying they would not have an election before the end of the war.

I'd rather not give AlJazeera any traffic, so here's a couple of other sources.
None of those actually mention the vote in Ukrainian parliament, that is where the "unanimously" comes from 😇 I've looked through several sources and AJ English had it summarized the best 🤷♂️
off topic: not sure what are your reservations about AJ - soft power vehicle for Qatari gov?
Fair enough! While the vote isn't mentioned in mine, they do talk about the opposition making public statements that they would refuse to run an election in wartime, which was enough in my mind for showing intent. I do appreciate the extra source.
Primarily that, yes. I appreciate the source of information, and if they are the ones reporting first- that is what it is, I just personally don't read it if I can help it.
