Does Russia have a foreign army in their borders? Very strange use of the word precedence there... there are also cases where countries at war have postponed elections, isn't that precedence too? How is that relevant for Ukraine specifically?
It's not relevant for Ukraine specifically, it's relevant for anyone who would claim that free, fair, and regular elections are a cornerstone of democracy. Someone else said better than I could: shouldn't the people get a say in who is leading them in this war?
