The president of the Supreme Rada of Ukraine announced that the Parliament works on a draft law dedicated to the organization of elections after the state of war, writes Pravda.
Most of the Ukrainians would vote again on Volodimir Zelenski in the presidential elections that will be organized after the war is over.
Many Ukrainians would also vote on Valeri Zlujnîi, the former military chief of the Ukrainian army, currently ambassador to the United Kingdom. This is in second place in the quoted opinion poll. He was dismissed by Zelenski a year and a half ago and replaced with Oleksandr Sîrski.
Also, a hypothetical “Zlujnîi Party” would get a significant number of votes.
Ask “If the presidential elections were organized this Sunday, which you would choose,” the Ukrainians replied as follows:
- Volodimir Zelenski – 31%
- Valeri Zălujnîi – 25%
- Petro Poroshenko – 6%
- Kirilo Budanov – 5%
- Dmitro Razumkov – 4%
- Serhi priula – 3%
- Iulia Timoșenko – 3%
- Andri Biletki – 3%
- Oleksi Honcearenko – 3%
- Vitali Kliciko – 1%
- Would cancel his vote-1%
- Would not vote – 5%
- Ns/no – 9%
In the west of Ukraine, the support for Zelenski and Zălujnîi are at the same level – 27%. For the 50 -year -old segment, Zelenski support surpasses Zelenski – 31% compared to 30%.
At the question “Do you support the activity of President Volodimir Zelenski?”, The Ukrainians answered 33% that they argue firmly, 32% that they claim to some extent, 16% that they do not support or do not support to some extent.
Although opinion polls show that the overwhelming majority of citizens do not want choices in times of war, certain external voices and allies have drawn attention to the lack of a clear electoral calendar.
At the beginning of the second term, former US president Donald Trump urged Ukraine to organize elections as soon as possible. Kiev rejected this request, invoking the conflict situation, the security status and the inherent logistics.
Zelenski previously stated that he is willing to give up the presidency if a peace agreement is concluded.
Russia uses the subject of election to discredit Kiev
In the propaganda of the Kremlin, the theme of elections is used as an instrument for delegitimizing the Ukrainian leadership. Russia claims that, with the expiration of Zelenski's first term – initially envisaged for May 20, 2024 – it is no longer legitimate.
In a context in which the war continues, parliamentary efforts to prepare post-conflict elections are a proof of Ukraine's intention to restore its democracy transparently, but with calculated steps. But the road remains full of challenges: legislative, logistical, but also geopolitical.
Martial Law – obstacle to vote
Since the outbreak of the invasion, the state of emergency and the martial law have blocked the organization of any elections. The mandate of President Volodimir Zelenski was automatically prolonged, and this is in accordance with what the Ukrainian laws allow.
