Kyiv, Ukraine – When it comes to Ukraine, Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin agree on their deep hatred of Vodimir Zelinsky.

They want American and Russian leaders their Ukrainian counterpart.

“We have a position in which we did not have elections in Ukraine, where we have martial law, where the leader in Ukraine, I hate to say that, but it decreased by four percent,” Trump claimed on February 19.

Five days later, Putin supported Trump’s claim.

“In fact, it does not matter how much a percent [Zelenskyy] He has, four or whatever. Putin said, referring to Valerie Zaluzni, that his classification is that his classification is the weakness of his political rival. The best former general in Ukraine, Which was launched by Zelinski last year.

Trump and Putin were wrong about Zelinski Assessments.

Zlenskyy diplomat Quarrels With Trump increased his domestic popularity – from 52 percent in December to 57 percent in February, according to opinion polls conducted by the Kiev International Sociology Institute.

However, 37 percent of the Ukrainians do not trust Zelinski.

Critics accused Zelenskyy of noting freedom of expression, and they failed to contain corruption in his servant of the people’s political party, and most importantly, in the army. They also condemned him to shoot Zaluzhnyi in February 2024.

Putin was right when he contacted the Zalouzni, who is currently the Ukraine Ambassador to the United Kingdom, the only public figure who could overcome Zelinski in the polls.

The Befy, Taciturn General has a 62 percent approval rating – but he repeatedly said he would not run for the presidency during the war.

“While the war continues, we all need to work to save the country, not thinking about the elections,” he told the news agency at RBC-Ukraine last week.

However, Zaluzni follows the public relations tactic that he tried and tested by Zelinski before winning the 2019 presidential elections.

Zalozni in Trump just rose – on charges of “destroying the global order” and “doubting the unity of the Western world” during a short speech in Chatham House in London on March 6, after the first US President requested a sudden vote.

The basic message was clear – although its appointed victory, Zaluzhnyi does not challenge Zelenskyy now.

Meanwhile, the Trump team was also approached its civilian competitors in Zelinski, although its popularity is small.

In early March, Trump’s assistants were said to have had talks with Yulia Timoshenko, a veteran politician and prime minister twice known in her Halo brand.

He led Tymoshenko in polls before voting for 2019 until Zelenskyy, a comedian who has no political experience, was announced.

But these days, only 10.6 percent of the Ukrainians in Tymoshenko, head of the Batkivshchyna Political Party (homeland), according to the March 25 survey conducted by the Rosomkov Center, a survey expert in Kiev.

Zelenskyy predecessor and Archenes is a little more popular.

According to the poll poll, 17 percent of Ukrainians trust Petro Poroshenko, the richest man in Ukraine who turned into the 2014 elections after pledged to combat corruption and unify all Ukrainians with different linguistic and ethnic backgrounds.

But while the president, Poroshenko occupied the scandals of corruption, and was swept away by Zelinski, won only 24 percent of the 2019 vote.

Poroshenko confirmed that Trump’s assistants approached him, but he rejected allegations that the meeting was about a surprise vote.

On Facebook, he wrote: “The elections are only possible after the ceasefire and the signing of a peace agreement with security guarantees for Ukraine,” he wrote on Facebook.

The constitution of Ukraine prohibits the laws of election, any elections during the martial law, and keep them during the war, is impossible in logistical.

Ukraine will need to accelerate about 700,000 soldiers to ensure that they are able to vote – and any of them can register as candidates and a campaign.

It cannot be given that the Russian forces continue to push along the 1200 -km front line (750 miles), although their regional gains in March were minimal.

They occupied 133 square kilometers (51 square miles), most of them in Donbas – a devastating drop since November, when they took 730 square meters (282 square meters), according to KHORTITSya, an analytical channel.

However, Putin seems to be hoping to achieve the progress of his forces as he continues to reach new ceasefire conditions for 30 days.

Russia Almost daily Ukrainian cities are a great security threat because the crowds are inevitable during the vote.

The polling stations were traditionally organized in public schools or administrative buildings, but the war destroyed thousands of them.

Kyiv cannot also guarantee international screen security who have noticed every post -Soviet Ukraine vote.

Voting after the customary provisions raised

If the ceasefire is stopped, a presidential vote can be made 90 days after lifting martial law.

However, to ensure the right number, Kiev will need a census to reflect the real number of voters.

The population reached 34.7 million in 2022, when Russia’s invasion began widely.

Since then, 6.9 million Ukrainians have fled abroad, 3.7 million of displacement internally, and 5 million remained in Russia’s regions.

Moreover, 1.3 million Ukrainians reside in Russia and its nearest ally, Belarus, mentioned the United Nations.

According to Ukrainian officials, they face imprisonment, torture and the loss of property for any attempt to vote.

Paper ballot papers throw refugees in Europe and other places will overwhelm Ukrainian embassies and consulates.

More than 20 million Ukrainian DIIA is used, a mobile phone application that allows them to use most government services and even sell their cars.

But when they used Diia to vote for a Ukrainian candidate for the Eurovision Song competition in February, the application was modified.

The economic magazine, a British magazine, said on Sunday that Kiev is preparing to vote and that Zelenskyy hopes to win it. The publication was martyred with unknown government sources in its reports.

A day later, the head of the ruling servant of the People’s Party refused to claim.

“All parties and parliamentary factions agreed that the elections will have six months after lifting the martial law.”
