Nobody is a strong word. Lots of people want elections, especially in wartime. And lots of other people don't want elections.

But it doesn't matter: the constitution of Ukraine doesn't allow elections during wartime.

I think by default constitutional rules should be followed, unless there are very good reasons not to.

Also if the Ukrainians hated it so much they would just side with Russia and form rebel militias all over and apparently that is not happening, I think they know which side has their best interests at heart and which is trying to genocide them.

Well, from 2014 onward there were supposedly rebel militia groups in the south and east. (Most people think they were Russian puppets however.)

Doesn't even need to be their best interest, really. The Ukrainian government had and has its fair share of flaws. (They exist in the real world after all.) But it's enough that they are a lot better than Russia.
