Actual quote from the WP interview.

Q: Will there be parliamentary elections in the fall?
A: If we have martial law, we cannot have elections. The constitution prohibits any elections during martial law
It's not his choice to make. The constitution of Ukraine prohibits it. The Russia Today article that is the source for OP's image actually states that as well but that would of course not support OP's shitty rage bait attempt.
So let's see what happens in Russia when martial law is declared.
With the introduction of martial law, elections and referendum are not held, and the powers of elected bodies of power, local authorities and officials are automatically extended. The main powers to ensure martial law are concentrated in the hands of the Russian President.
