EU Should Enlarge, Even Out of Despair – COMMENTARY
3 October 2024
President Zelenskyy enjoys high popularity for his resolute war leadership, but handling peace and reconstruction will pose a challenge once elections or a referendum on a future peace deal are held.
Since the full-scale invasion, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy remains Ukraine’s most popular politician, whose display of stamina, leadership and elevated international standing have already secured him a place in history among Ukrainian national heroes.
According to the latest poll from February 2023, 91 per cent of Ukrainians were satisfied with his performance, and a sizable majority (65 per cent) wanted him to serve another term as president. Presidential elections are not due until next year, while a parliamentary poll is likely to be postponed from its October schedule due to the war.
