That's a way to start a come back! Is he thereby helping to undermine the so far very successful defense effort by the Ukraine against Putin the Terrible?
Is war time, a good time for democratic elections? What historical examples for that do we have? The UK, for example, did apparently not hold major elections during WW II (Google AI). "Yes, the United States held both presidential and congressional elections on schedule during World War II." (Google AI) However, except for Hawaii, the mainland of the US was not under direct attack by the so called Axis Powers (Spain, Italy, Germany nor by Japan.
No wonder he was sacked?
"Ukraine's popular ex-defence minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called for wartime elections, in what is widely seen as the biggest challenge to Volodymyr Zelensky's presidency since Russia's full-scale invasion four and a half years ago.
"Democracy cannot be held hostage by Russia," said Fedorov, 35, in a video posted to YouTube on Tuesday, adding that Ukraine is fighting "precisely because we want to remain a free European state". ..."
"... Fedorov made the remarks in a video address posted to his YouTube channel, saying Ukraine needs a “legal, safe, and realistic mechanism” for holding elections during a prolonged conflict, while also safeguarding voting rights for soldiers, Ukrainians living abroad, and residents of frontline regions. ..."
Fedorov Calls for Wartime Elections, Says Putin Shouldn’t Set the Timeline "In brief: Former Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has called for Ukraine to develop a mechanism to hold elections during the war, arguing Russia should not be able to dictate when Ukrainian citizens vote. His remarks came hours after President Volodymyr Zelensky nominated a permanent replacement for the post on Aug, 18."
