The "rule" is in the constitution. It even explicitly extends the term for parliament of ukraine by 5 years, and by their constitutional law it would be illegal for election to take place. Not to mention that you're missing the point about what is an election. It's not enough to put a ballot in the box. You must also provide the possibility to cast it for each citizen without external pressure, otherwise you can't trust the result. (Imagine if Russian soldiers were sent to collect the ballots with machine guns on their arms whether you'd like to join the Empire)

Ukrainian civilians are bombed daily. It's not exactly safe for them to vote. Not to mention the other 2 points, before.

NATO neutrality

I'm saying how it is, not what imaginative casus belli they are going for directed to the western audience. There was no way for Ukraine to join NATO due to ongoing conflict that started in 2014, so it never actually mattered for the neutrality question. Otherwise accepting Ukraine would also imply declaring war on Russia or at very least, freeze the conflict at Donbas with Crimea going to Russia.

When I'm talking about a land grab, I mean the idea to restore greater glory of the old russian empire or CCCP. It's not even hidden by now. Most high level (including Putin) politicians causally talks about it.

The country is rotten to the core. The one positive I heard is that reports about violence against women is actually handled by the police now. Mostly to fill in the vatnik quotas to send to the front.
