Episode Details

Zelenskyy warns that holding elections during wartime would risk Ukraine’s survival, calling it a recipe for national division and chaos — despite a former defense minister pushing for a vote. Political upheaval this summer, including the ousted minister’s controversial stance, has sparked protests and shaken military leadership. Experts highlight massive logistical and security hurdles: how to vote from the frontlines, refugee zones, or occupied areas — while facing Russian sabotage and attacks. Polls show only 15% of Ukrainians support elections before peace. Meanwhile, European allies gather in Kyiv, sealing a new drone deal with Norway and urgently negotiating air defense reinforcements as Ukraine struggles to intercept Russia’s increasingly lethal missile barrage — even as civilian casualties hit their highest since the war began.
