"Pausing" elections during times of war is not uncommon, IIRC Britain didn't have major elections during WW2.

It's not simple to run a fair election in peacetime, running one while part of the country is under enemy control + bombs are falling doesn't exactly make it easier.

It's a Russian talking point and a pretty easy one to figure out (elections in Russia are rigged).
