The Ukrainian president said that now "is a time for battle" and that holding presidential elections in such circumstances was not appropriate.

      If the Japanese had taken the west coast I bet they would have delayed them.

          as to the elections, it’s not unusual to postpone elections in the midst of a defensive war.

              • France, 1914-1918 war: no elections
              • UK, 1939-1945: No general elections were held during the Second World War until Allied victory was assured via acts of Parliament; hence the 1935 House sat until 1945. (per Wikipedia)

              Shall I continue?

      Logistically, that’s a very different prospect though.
