Who will keep service members out of politics: parties, commanders or electoral law?. VIDEO
How can Ukraine hold its first postwar elections when millions of citizens are abroad, election infrastructure has been destroyed, and service members cannot always get even a period of leave? And will veterans end up as attractive faces on party lists, with no real role in politics?
In the new episode of the "Veterans and Politics" podcast, Censor.NET journalist Maryna Danyliuk-Yarmolaieva speaks with Oleksandr Korniienko, first deputy speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, and Olha Aivazovska, chair of the board of the OPORA Civil Network.
Why has work on election legislation stalled? Is voting through Diia possible? How can service members’ voting rights be protected, and why could rushed elections threaten Ukrainian democracy?
The podcast was produced with support from the Westminster Foundation for Democracy (WFD).
