The Ukrainian stamps in my passport suggest I’ve spent more than 30 seconds talking with them…

Your comment suggests this was some time ago, since traveling to Ukraine after the invasion doesn't seem to be something most people would do.

I have plenty of Ukrainian colleagues, both still in and outside of Ukraine. Opinions differ a lot. There is only this truth:

1. Ukraine is at war

2. Martial Law helps a country at war

It's logical that governments take decisions that some people don't like. Martial Law is there to take quick, hard and possibly unpopular decisions. Ukraine as a country is trying to survive right now. Their martial law doesn't even allow elections!

Call me crazy, but I believe the Ukrainians themselves should get to make the hard decisions involving their lives and future.

True, they are free to decide not to hold elections during martial law. Even the opposition doesn't want it.
