乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基拒绝了在对俄罗斯战争期间举行选举的提议，此前一天，乌克兰前国防部长公开呼吁举行选举。
“我认为，在这样的战争中，举行选举本身就是巨大的风险。眼下举行选举会像海啸一样冲击这个国家，导致乌克兰分裂，”泽连斯基在周日公开的讲话中说道。
上月被解职的乌克兰前国防部长米哈伊洛·费多罗夫于周二发布视频，呼吁给乌克兰民众前往投票站的机会。
在视频中，费多罗夫表示“民主不能被俄罗斯当作人质”，并呼吁建立“合法、安全且切实可行的机制，让乌克兰即便在长期战争中也能恢复完整的民主进程”。
“我们参战正是因为我们希望保留一个自由的欧洲国家，”他补充道。

此举被广泛视为冲突爆发以来对泽连斯基权力的最大挑战，但这位被解职的部长并未透露自己是否有任何政治野心。2022年2月俄罗斯军队入侵乌克兰后，泽连斯基实施了禁止举行选举的战时戒严令。
在周日由哥伦比亚广播公司的国际合作伙伴英国广播公司播出的采访中，费多罗夫称乌克兰总统需要为其政府被指存在的腐败问题“给出解释”，并提及上周公布的一项洗钱调查。他还告诉英国广播公司，乌克兰民众不应害怕讨论战争期间举行选举的想法。
“如果我不能和自己的社会分享我的想法、坦诚相待，那我们究竟是在为谁而战，”费多罗夫对英国广播公司说道。
泽连斯基于7月中旬解雇了费多罗夫，理由是他与泽连斯基的最高总司令亚历山大·瑟尔斯基之间存在无法调和的矛盾。此举引发了乌克兰全国范围内数千人持续数周的抗议，民众批评政府解雇这位广受尊敬的部长。
费多罗夫因将战争局势扭转至对乌克兰有利的局面而广受赞誉：他将乌克兰对俄罗斯纵深地区的打击次数增加了九倍，并强化了乌克兰的国内武器库。
Zelenskyy rejects wartime elections citing “huge risk” and “split” for Ukraine

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy rejected the idea of holding elections during the war with Russia, four days after the former defense minister publicly called for them.
“I believe that in a war like this, elections as such are a huge risk. Elections right now are a tsunami for the country that will split Ukraine,” Zelenskyy said in remarks made public Sunday.
Ukraine’s former defense minister Mykhailo Fedorov, who was fired last month, posted a video Tuesday where he called for the country to be given a chance to go to the polls.
In the video, Fedorov said “democracy cannot be held hostage by Russia,” and called for a “legal, safe and realistic mechanism that will allow Ukraine to restore a full democratic process even amidst a prolonged war.”
“We are fighting precisely because we want to remain a free European state,” he added.

The move was widely seen as the largest challenge to Zelenskyy’s power since the start of the conflict, but the ousted minister did not reveal whether he had any political ambitions for himself. The president imposed martial law, which prohibits elections from being held, when Russian forces invaded the country in February 2022.
In an interviewed aired Sunday by the BBC, which is CBS News’ international partner, Fedorov said the Ukrainian president had “questions to answer” about alleged corruption in his government, citing a money laundering investigation announced last week. He also told the BBC Ukrainians should not be afraid of discussing the idea of holding elections during the war.
“If I cannot share my ideas and be open about them with my own society, then what are we fighting for,” Fedorov told the BBC.
Zelenskyy fired Fedorov in mid-July, citing an unsolvable feud between him and Zelenskyy’s top general, Oleksandr Syrskyi. The move sparked weeks of protests from thousands of people across the country, criticizing the removal of the widely respected minister.
Fedorov was credited with turning the tide of the war in Ukraine’s favor, increasing Ukraine’s strikes deep into Russia tenfold and bolstering its domestic arsenal.
