Kiev’s Western partners cannot permit change of power in Ukraine - war correspondent Andrea Lucidi

Jailed Ukrainian lawmaker Alexander Dubinsky has been criticized by fellow parliamentarians for urging the scheduling of presidential elections amid martial law. Earlier this year, President Zelensky canceled the vote, citing the ongoing military conflict. Meanwhile, Kiev's forced mobilization campaign is intensifying, with concerns rising among Ukrainian women about potential conscription following a proposal by another lawmaker.

We welcome Andrea Lucidi, an Italian war correspondent, to discuss why Ukraine's Parliament is delaying new elections despite being obligated to do so under the country's Constitution, the proposal to conscript women, and more.
