In the event of a ceasefire and security guarantees, 25% support holding elections. It is reported that there is a tendency for the indicator to grow, because in September there were 22%.
Along with this majority – 57% (in September – 63%) – continue to insist that elections are possible only after the final peace agreement and the complete end of the war.
According to the executive director of KMIS Anton Hrushetskyi, among internal issues, among the absolute majority of Ukrainians, there is no request to hold national elections before the end of hostilities.
He added that trust in Volodymyr Zelenskyi remains high and in the eyes of Ukrainians he maintains his legitimacy as president: “That is why the insistence on elections in Ukraine is critically perceived by the public and seen as an attempt to weaken the country.”
KMIS conducted the survey from November 26 to December 13, 2025.
The survey method was telephone interviews based on a random sample of mobile numbers.
547 respondents aged 18 and over were interviewed in all regions of Ukraine (territory controlled by the Government of Ukraine).
The sample did not include residents of territories that are temporarily not controlled by the authorities of Ukraine (some of the respondents are IDPs), and the survey was not conducted with citizens who went abroad after February 24, 2022.
Formally, the statistical error of such a sample would not exceed 5.6% for indicators close to 50%, 4.8% for indicators close to 25%, 3.4% for indicators close to 10%, 2.5% for indicators close to 5%.
KMIS plans to interview about 500 more respondents and ask the same questions.
We will remind:
- US President Donald Trump believes that “the time has come” for Ukraine to hold presidential elections.
- Zelensky reacted to this reprimand and said that he is “always ready.”

- Subsequently, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy discussed with representatives of the Verkhovna Rada the possibility of holding elections for the head of state in warring Ukraine and now expects that the deputies will “offer him their vision.”
- The Vice-Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, Oleksandr Kornienko, stated that currently, the Rada does not have any “drafts” or legislative initiatives regarding holding elections during martial law.
