Episode Description from the Publisher

Please join me and my special guest, Ukraine Government Advisor and Political Analyst Maksym Turkevych, as we examine the growing debate over whether Ukraine should hold elections while the war with Russia continues. With new calls for Ukrainians to return to the ballot box—and President Volodymyr Zelensky warning that wartime elections could divide the country—we'll discuss what an election could mean for *Zelensky's political future, Ukraine's democracy, national unity, and the country's ongoing war against Russia. Can Ukraine realistically hold free and fair elections during wartime? Would an election strengthen Ukrainian democracy—or risk dividing the country at a critical moment? And if Ukrainians do eventually go to the polls, what could the political future of Ukraine look like?
