The coming year will be difficult not only for Ukraine’s Armed Forces, but also for Zelensky, The Guardian says

The coming year will be difficult not only for the Ukrainian army, but also for Volodymyr Zelensky due to political pressure amid the absence of elections in Ukraine.

This forecast was published by The Guardian.

“The year ahead may also prove challenging for Zelensky politically, as the five-year presidential term for which he was elected in the spring of 2019 approaches the seven-year mark,” the article says.

At the same time, as one Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier told the newspaper, most Ukrainians are ready to accept Russia’s terms in order to end the conflict.

Earlier, retired U.S. Army lieutenant colonel Daniel Davis suggested that Volodymyr Zelensky intends to stage a new provocation to prolong the conflict. In this way, he wants to avoid new elections in Ukraine.

Before that, the Ukrainian leader himself promised that he would leave the post of head of state under one condition. He also supported holding presidential elections via online platforms.

In turn, Viktor Medvedchuk, head of the “Another Ukraine” movement, said that modern Ukraine is losing its right to exist as a state as long as Volodymyr Zelensky and his “terrorist regime” remain in power.
