https://video.echelon.pl/videos/watch/c70f6eb4-eee3-42a3-9fcb-ec7f01c532dc Ukraine’s popular former defense minister, Mykhailo Fedorov, dismissed by President Zelenskyy last month, has called for a new election despite ongoing Russian aggression. Fedorov said it would be necessary to resolve what he called “a systemic governance crisis” caused by the “old system,” which too often punishes “initiative while rewarding loyalty.” “The problem is that he was with President Zelensky from the very moment he became the president. In fact, he was one of the creators of his election campaign in 2019. Since that time, he was all the time in the government,” said TVP World’s Editor-in-Chief, Michał Broniatowski. “He was a prominent member of this establishment. Why wasn’t he protesting for the last seven years? Unclear."" “Now we see a start of a populist campaign,” he added, explaining that Fedorov knows very well elections would not only be hard to conduct due to the wartime situation, which has left many people displaced or in Russian-occupied territory, effectively disenfranchising them, but most importantly it would be unconstitutional to do so under martial law. Join News in Depth’s host Ashim Kumar and his guest as they explore the constitutional and logistical obstacles to holding elections during wartime and what ongoing corruption investigations reveal about the resilience of Ukraine’s democratic institutions under the pressures of war, as well as how Donald Trump’s policies toward South Korea raise fresh questions about whether the U.S. can be relied upon by allies under threat. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/9RY46AUtIl4 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
