Not true. In times if war it is typical of countries to forego elections as it is not practical is logistical or security terms to hold an election.
This was true of Britain in WW2 and WW1. The US could still hold them as the war was fought well away from its borders, but Britain didn't hold another until 1944 when the Axis were on the verge of defeat.
That did nog mskd Winston Churchill a dictator and it doesn't make Zelensky one now.
Conversely, look at Putin and his staged election. He definitely is a dictator.
