President and New Leaders

President Volodymyr Zelensky maintains the highest level of trust among Ukrainians, but society shows a certain demand for new leaders, especially among military personnel and volunteers. According to KMIS, currently 74% of Ukrainians trust the president, while 22% express distrust. The deputy director of KMIS, Anton Grushetsky, believes that these results are largely related to unity around the national flag.

New leaders, among whom Andriy Biletsky, commander of the Third Army Corps, stands out, are gaining increasing influence on society. Recent sociological research conducted in November 2024 showed that he has 6% of the votes, which is equal to the results of Serhiy Prytula and Yulia Tymoshenko. Biletsky is favored due to his image as a modern and effective commander, as well as his public speeches.

According to one version, the 'minimum' task for these groups is to bring Biletsky into leadership positions in the Armed Forces or the Ministry of Defense. After that, one could dream of higher positions, including the presidency.

He speaks not only about problems in the defense sector and the need for reforms, but also criticizes the Ministry of Defense, expressing his own strategy for the development of the defense industry, law enforcement sector, and relationships with partners, including in the field of education.

As noted by the 'Focus' magazine, Zelensky's further political positions will depend on the duration of the conflict, conditions for peace, and the resolution of internal problems for which the presidential team is responsible.
