Peloni: Reports are that former Pres. Poroshenko and former PM Yulia Tymoshenko who leads the far right opposition party, Batkivshchyna (Fatherland), are rejecting the notion of wartime elections. To be honest, the stronger opposition leader than either of these should be the mayor of Kiev, Vitali Klitschko. Furthermore, Tymoshenko’s Fatherland party is notably not the least bit aligned with Trump’s objectives of peace with Russia, and never has been. Additionally, Poroshenko tried using the ruse of marshal law in 2019 to do exactly what Zelensky did last year, ie cancelling elections. All of this raises questions of the veracity of this report which is sourced to Politico, one of Trump’s very strong detractors in general and on the issue of Ukraine specifically. In any event, Zelensky has commented more than once since the meeting in the Oval Office that the choice for Ukraine should be the choice of the Ukrainian people, and he claims to still hold a majority in the polls in any event. So let the people prove the polls right and give Zel his currently missing mandate, or his walking papers.
