Just an observation.

It’s not just an observation though, is it. It’s another Kremlin line - one of the ones that seeks to normalise the idea that an election in a country under occupation and bombardment is reasonable. If you genuinely can’t see that your “just a reasonable guy making observations” routine is just a laundering operation for Russian propaganda, you might want to have a careful think about which wells you’re drinking at. Because the FSB is doing a proper number on you.
No European government - except for the one or two which are openly Russia-orientated - has suggested this would be a good idea. Neither did the US, until it elected a man known to admire Putin and who has spent a lot of time trying to do business in Russia.
Suspending elections in wartime didn’t do the UK any harm and it isn’t doing Ukraine any harm either. Holding them, however, while the free parts of the country is being bombed, and a fifth of it is under Russian occupation, would certainly do so.
