The revival of political life in Ukraine is related to Trump’s intention to finish the war quickly, the publication writes.
For most Ukrainian citizens, priority is the success in the war, and then – elections / UNIAN collage, photo UNIAN, 93 OMBR Cold YarIn Ukraine, more and more signs of revival of political life have emerged recently, which has subsided since the full -scale invasion of Russia in 2022. And this may be due to the intention of US President Donald Trump to finish the war faster, Reuters writes.“This is due to Trump, with the expectations that there will be negotiations … The activity has increased, internal political nervousness has increased clearly,” – quotes the agency of political scientist Vladimir Fesenko to confirm this thought.
It also reminds that the US President’s team has declared that Kiev has to hold a presidential election by the end of 2025, if it is possible to agree on the ceasefire.
The publication also cited other facts that testify to the revival of political life in Ukraine. Thus, the former president, the opposition policy of Petro Poroshenko was noticed in photos, where he presses his hands with numerous foreign officials. However, Poroshenko himself, it is noted, denies that it has some involvement in the elections.
At the same time, the newspaper notes, “European Solidarity” Poroshenko accused President Vladimir Zelensky “in an attempt to prevent him from parliament and that he focused on the future elections instead of wage war.”
Former Prime Minister Yulia Tymoshenko also became more noticeable, according to the material. She met with officials of the European Union abroad and protested “against the detention of a general in Ukraine in connection with a failed defense operation in May last year.”
The publication states that the mayor of Kiev Vitaliy Klitschko “accused Zelensky’s environment of political intrigues.” The publication calls the mayor of Kiev “a potential contender for the post of president.”
It is said that Fesenko said that some political groups are already working on the creation of election headquarters.
“He said he did not see such activity in the Zelensky camp and that politicians are likely to hurry if they see the election approach,” Reuters writes.
Meanwhile, American officials say that “no political decisions have been made, and their strategy on Ukraine is developing.”
The elections in Ukraine can face logistics problems, said the deputy chairman of the Central Election Commission of Ukraine Sergey Dubovik. According to him, the preparation for the elections will take at least 4-6 months, given the movement of voters and large-scale destruction.
And the director of the Kiev International Institute of Sociology Anton Hrushetsky says that even those who do not approve of Zelensky’s activities consider him a legitimate leader.
The former Commander -in -Chief of the Armed Forces, the Ambassador of Ukraine to the UK Valery Zaluzhny, was mentioned separately, and even sent a request to the embassy whether he could run for president. It is noted that the Embassy of Ukraine in London did not respond to him.
“Zaluzhny publicly did not declare his political ambitions, but the survey testifies to his popularity. The image of the Zaluzhny adorns the book shops of Kiev, where thousands of copies of his new book” My War “have been sold,” the newspaper writes.
As for the position of the Ukrainian public, it, according to Hrushetsky, is generally against the election before the end of the war. For most priority, he was successful in the war and then the election, he said.
