Claims it is ok to remain the leader if a country is at war, and cites Churchill and Wilson. It's not a law, they said:
A longstanding law (though not a constitutional provision) says that elections cannot be held when martial law is in force
So 'elensky's choice is end the war and get tried as a war criminal, or perpetuate the war and remain in power by declaring martial law ever so often. Obvious choice.
He has recently declared another 90 days of martial law, but the next one, in August, when he is technically not the elected president, will be problematic. Legitimacy will be an issue - as in: who will still obey the bogus order from a wannabe unelected tyrant?
I think Russia is gunna sit back and eat some popcorn on this issue TBH. It is up to the Ukrainians to sort this one out.

...sounds a lot like Bibi's situation in Israel...
Different types of warfare but same conclusion for both...
TO BE OR NOT TO BE!!!!!
Their choice(s) will decide the fate of their respective countries...
Truth is truth to the end of reckoning.

Extra innings, comrades.
...Putin wouldn't have it any other way...
...doggy winks...
