Zelenskyy’s associate tells about the president’s dream: to end the war with victory and leave

“If the majority thinks that we lost, and Zelenskyy is to blame for this, he won’t go. He definitely won’t, like Poroshenko or especially Yushchenko, go to the polls to get 5-10% of the votes. And he wouldn’t go in 2019 , if there had not been a basic rating before the start. And if the majority decides that “everything is fine with the war, it could have been worse, we taxied normally” - then yes, it will go,” says a source close to the head of state.

According to another interlocutor, Zelenskyy had a dream: to end the war with a confident, undoubted victory - and on this wave to leave politics. But, of course, in the current conditions, an absolute victory for Ukraine is impossible without the appearance of some kind of “black swan” on a global scale. And this is a very shaky foundation for any political calculations.
