Ukraine is under martial law right now. So no elections for the time being.
It is also one of Russia's wishes to have Zelensky ousted so that a Russia-backed puppet can be elected into the presidency.
The biggest problem is -- if Trump leads the US into legally recognizing Crimea as part of Russia, that sets a really, REALLY bad example in the international community where the motto basically becomes "might makes right". The rule-based international order that the World has largely operated on since WW2 will no longer be a thing. Eastern European countries will start freaking out, as will Japan and maybe also Korea. China will emboldened and Taiwan will freak out as well. Maybe we (Canada) will also need to freak out as well.
