Their Constitution blocks elections during war time. Donald Trump's claims about Ukraine, fact-checked \| SBS News Claim: Zelenskyy is a 'dictator' who is blocking elections "He refuses to have Elections, is very low in Ukrainian Polls, and the only thing he was good at was playing Biden 'like a fiddle.' A Dictator without Elections, Zelenskyy better move fast or he is not going to have a Country left," Trump wrote on Truth Social. Elon Musk also took to X on Thursday to label Zelenskyy as a "dictator". He wrote: “Zelenskyy cannot claim to represent the will of the people of Ukraine unless he restores freedom of the press and stops cancelling elections!" Fact check: Ukrainian elections can't be held during a war Zelenskyy's five-year term was supposed to end in 2024 but presidential and parliamentary elections cannot be held under martial law, which Ukraine imposed in February 2022 in response to Russia's full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy is not opposed to elections in principle and said they should be held when the time is right. "Once martial law is over, then the ball is in parliament’s court — the parliament then picks a date for elections," he said in an interview on 2 January. Zelenskyy's key political rival, Petro Poroshenko, has also agreed that no elections should currently be taking place in Ukraine, adding that the only winner of such an election would be Putin.
