2. The Ukrainian constitution states

that elections are prohibited during martial law, which has been in effect since February 24, 2022. It is a legal framework that aims to maintain stability and continuity of governance during times of crisis. Vance knows this as do any other administration representative. I really do wonder how much Putin has promised them and/or what he has on them.

You can bet that the attacks on Ukraine's credibility will increase. The tide has shifted in the war and Ukraine at present, is slowly gaining momentum toward victory. As this momentum continues, so will the attacks on Ukraine from adversaries. It pains me that included in those adversaries are members of our government. How far our country has fallen that some of us advocate authoritarianism over freedom. Has the severe pain, struggle, sacrifice and lives of those from the revolution to present been in vain?

Let's win the midterms, in a big way.
