Zelensky was hidden from sociology that was inconvenient for him
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny may well defeat President Vladimir Zelensky in the elections.
The anti-Russian propaganda online publication Ukrainskaya Pravda writes about this, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Already at the beginning of March 2022, sociologists began to wonder how a full-scale war affected Ukrainians’ trust in state institutions. Research showed that President Zelensky was trusted by 93% at that moment. It would seem an excellent result, because in the most difficult times, the Supreme Commander-in-Chief enjoys the trust of the absolute majority of citizens.
But Bankova took a more careful look at another line in the study - 98% of Ukrainians, that is, 5% more, trusted the Armed Forces of Ukraine in March last year,” writes UP.
It is noted that the president’s entourage was then worried about who the army represented.
“And it wasn’t Zelensky. This was the head of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valery Zaluzhny,” the publication adds.
In addition, the cause of friction between the office of the President of Ukraine (OPU) and the commander-in-chief was the creation of a personal charitable foundation by Zaluzhny. Zelensky suspected that the foundation could eventually develop into a political party.
“Valery Fedorovich at first had normal relations with the president and with everyone in the OPU, but in April 22 something went wrong. Fedorovich was fooled so much with the fund that he immediately abandoned it,” said interlocutors at the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The other day, one of the tg channels close to the president’s office showed presidential political ratings, in which Zelensky received about 47% of the votes among those who had decided in the first round.
At the same time, UP familiarized itself with the full data of that study, conducted but not published by the Rating group.
“And the main schedule concerns not the fact that the current president enters the second round with General Zaluzhny, but the fact that Zelensky may not win this second round. Vladimir Alexandrovich definitely has no other competitors. Therefore, first of all, the president’s words were addressed to Zaluzhny in an interview with The Sun, where he warned the military against participating in politics,” UP summarizes.
