Sooo they can bend the law and postpone holding elections, but they cannot bend it to hold peace talks? It's just an excuse.

Essentially yes because both holding elections or negotiating would spell doom to many Kiev politicians and very likely not just their political careers.

Quite the irony; somehow not doing anything and getting people killed needlessly and destroying your own nation is an okay path forward, but trying to find a compromise that stops that would cost you your career... I mean, it's not surprising, but also really sad.

No, Ukraine was attacked, so parliament and president declared martial law. Ukraine is constitutionally prohibited from holding elections until it is over.
