Earlier, in particular, foreign media reported that elections in Ukraine might be held in the first half of 2025 (probably in May). Mykhailo Podolyak, an adviser to the head of the Presidential Office, said at the time that such information was unfounded.
According to the latest opinion polls (Rating Group), 22% of respondents clearly support holding presidential elections during the war, and 28% support holding parliamentary elections.
In early November, Oleksandr Kornienko, a member of the Ukrainian parliament and first deputy chairman of the Verkhovna Rada, said that he did not see any elections in Ukraine "under the shaheds and under missiles." In his opinion, they would not be democratic.
