VALERIY KRYLKO—Presidential elections were to be held in Ukraine on March 31, 2024. However, due to the extension of martial law for 90 days in February 2025 (until May 9, 2025) for the 14th time, presidential elections were not held. Ukrainian citizens are well aware that in fact Ukraine is currently led by an illegitimate President Volodymyr Zelensky, who was elected in 2019 for a term of 5 years. And although on February 26, 2025, after the previous unsuccessful vote, the Verkhovna Rada (Parliament of Ukraine) was still able to pass a resolution that presidential elections should not be held yet, but the Ukrainian people understand that due to the end of Zelensky’s term of office in 2024, the laws he signs and decisions he makes are ineligible and can be challenged in court over time.

The political landscape seems tediously exhausted, with many of the same, highly compromised, faces competing for the top office
