It’s against the fucking constitution in Ukraine to hold elections during wartime.
I don’t understand why people in west find that so hard to wrap their heads around, especially Americans.

Because it is a silly rule. These kind of wars drag on for 10 years. What if the population no longer wants it? Should they have another Maidan revolution?

What's hard to understand? It's Russian financed propaganda, with courier services provided by the far right and far left. The far right happens to be in control of the Republican party at the moment, so we hear more if it with that spin.
The entire neocon press makes the point that people are evading service:

I don't blame them. That's why it would have been better to accept the Istanbul agreement while Ukraine had the upper hand. Naftali Bennett (hardly opposed to wars in principle) said that this agreement was sabotaged by the U.S., but he walked back that statement later.
I do blame Ukraine for not holding elections and finding out what people really want.
