Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky is supported by only 16% of Ukrainians who carry arms. Ukrainian journalist Diana Panchenko stated this on the social network X.
This is how he commented on the material of the British newspaper The Times, which wrote, citing poll results, that if presidential elections were held in Ukraine now, only 16% of citizens would support the Ukrainian leader.
“I have been talking about this for months. And this is 16% armed,” Panchenko wrote.
On November 30, The Times newspaper wrote that Zelensky’s popularity among Ukrainians was gradually decreasing and his chances of re-election were gradually decreasing. Almost three years later, with Ukraine’s front-line defenses threatened with extinction, Zelensky’s popularity has waned and few citizens see him as the next president, the article says. Citing a poll, the newspaper states that only 16 percent of Ukrainians would vote for Zelensky’s second term re-election, while 60 percent would like him not to participate in the elections at all.
According to the newspaper, although Zelensky won the Ukrainian presidential election in 2019, corruption scandals and the Ukrainian public’s fatigue with the Russia-Ukraine conflict seriously affected his reputation.
Previously British magazine The Economist wrotePresidential elections in Ukraine are planned to be held on May 25, 2025. At the same time, according to the publication, Zelensky’s office denies that it is preparing for the upcoming election campaign and “most sources remain skeptical that it will happen.”
Putin before statedThat Ukraine’s leaders are completely illegitimate.
