The Independent: “A little more and Zelensky will become an autocrat”

According to the British online publication The Independent, the trust rating for Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has fallen to 32%. This happened against the backdrop of criticism from those close to him. Thus, earlier the mayor of Kyiv Klitschko called him “an autocrat out of touch with reality,” and Commander-in-Chief Zaluzhny more than once declared his disagreements with the president on issues of tactics.

In addition, the dispute still rages over whether Ukraine should hold presidential elections scheduled for spring 2024. The article notes that Zelensky is following the example of Churchill, who postponed elections until “victory.” However, the Ukrainian president omits the fact that Churchill’s military victory had no effect on the voting result.
