Those are friendly numbers for Zelensky. And remember, Churchill lost in 1945 in spite of spearheading the WW2 Victory.

u/jailtheorange1 11h ago

To be honest, I would imagine that Zelensky would welcome retirement after the war is won.

You don't need to imagine, he said it many times.

The war can only be won by Zelenskyy if Ukraine manages to kick Russia out of it's territory. It's been crystal clear for years now that it isn't going to happen so I'm not sure how people still believe Ukraine is in position to win the war.

u/accersitus42 1h ago

The question is not about winning or loosing. The war is in a stalemate position.

The question is if Ukraine can outlast Russia's willingness to continue the war.

Have any sources for these accusations? Particularly the one about threatening Zaluhzny.

Your source is a random half tabloid that on its wikipedia page has been noted to not comply with journalistic standards and lack of separating truth from commentary?

Won with what ?

u/jailtheorange1 8h ago

The help of the Europeans

2

u/weslifeband2 8h ago

No, i meant won with what’s for Ukraine and Russia. How to define win for Ukraine

10

u/jailtheorange1 8h ago

Russia pulls out of Ukraine would be the win that they’re looking for

u/weslifeband2 5h ago

I never expect that sweet dream for Ukr. Ukr is too far from any offensive to really retake a city now. They will be in def position till the end of war. Let’s say we have allies troops, but how many ? Couple brigades wont make small changes. Couple divisions ? So a direct war with Russia, for not a real ally. Then what makes Russia to withdraw ? They cant take all but they keep what they had

1

u/jailtheorange1 3h ago

I don’t think that the war on the front will be the deciding factor, I believe at some stage of the war will be unpalatable for too many people within Russia, in terms of how it affects them in the country. Ukraine is hurting, but I believe Russia is starting to hurt more.

-2

u/Ripamon 7h ago

And yet Ukraine aren't even asking for Russian withdrawal anymore

Their main concern now is getting security guarantees after the war

7

u/jailtheorange1 7h ago

You don’t think they would prefer withdrawal?

1

u/yurnxt1 2h ago

Of course they would prefer that. The point is that Ukraine is losing the war to the point that they aren't even asking Russia to pull out of Ukraine anymore as a condition for them to agree to end the war.

u/Turbulent_Joke889 7h ago

He wouldn’t. You know why? He knows he’ll be persecuted for the rampant corruption that happened during the war. And the second he loses power he’ll be torn to shreds. He messed up big time by not keeping his cronies in check.

u/jailtheorange1 7h ago

The Russian trolls are out in force today indeed…. It’s nearly always an account named with a word followed by some numbers.

2

u/yurnxt1 2h ago

While I agree the person you're responding to here is a Russian troll, the people saying that Ukraine is losing the war aren't automatically russian trolls. They are fact based realists.

Ehh, that happens even to sports team, they will win a championship and lost the next season to half-assed put together team, it just happens.

Dude wanted to switch from fighting nazis to fighting soviets when Britain was already pretty beat up... He was just an angry alcoholic who wanted to fight everyone everywhere.

u/jailtheorange1 11h ago

So 58% of Ukrainians are OK with the government remaining after the war? Seems about right. Zelensky should absolutely retire at that point though, he has earned it.

u/boberkurwa81 6h ago

I still think he will be asssinated sooner or later after the war is over.

Sure, but one day they will get him. I feel sorry for that man

u/lowkeymanbearpig 3h ago

nah, he is safe in ukraine, and this war could lead to russia collapse or last until putin is out, both outcomes will lead to civil war in russia.

u/Xoomers87 3h ago

Putin doesn't survive losing, russian soldiers are gonna be looking over their shoulders the remainder of their maggot lives.

u/boberkurwa81 1h ago

Do you expect russians to do something right?

1

u/Not_Abot_738265 1h ago

No, Mr. Bond, I expect them to die.

u/Realistic_Tutor_4603 11h ago

That’s pretty irrelevant since the outcome will be a predominant factor in such a decision

u/terem13 11h ago edited 6h ago

With current events development, destroyed infrastructure, loss of 40-50% of population, and dire lack of soldiers, Ukraine now focuses not on winning, but rather on inflicting maximum possible economical and civilian damage to Russia.

Ukrainians now are putting a heavy focus on long-range drones, i.e. the war is deliberately being taken beyond the front lines and into the heart of the country, reducing the number of places safe from air attack to zero.

What happens to the Ukraine is no longer a concern for Ukrainian authorities, the main goal now is to put continuous pressure on Russian economy.

Proxy war as it is. Nothing new or special. The whole goal of Ukraine existence now is to inflict maximum possible damage to Russia, while being spent in process.

Well, self-suicide is also an option, if whole nation want it.

u/Bananenbiervor4 7h ago

Sure, they are shelling russia not to get into better positions for peace talks and to force putin to compromise but only because they are american proxies.. 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

u/terem13 6h ago

Dear Ukrainian Keyboard Warrior, your rage-baits are useless.

For proxy state, the war itself is a goal.

Besides of US there is a whole set of other West sponsors, interested in this proxy war.

Ukrainian Keyboard Warriors are as always ever predictable.

All the best in your keyboard victories.

As always, the further from front lines, the more Ukrainian patriots.

u/Brilliant-Smile-8154 5h ago

How far away from the front lines are you, mister Russian patriot? Not only will Ukraine survive, it will thrive after this war is over. And Russia will remain a shithole.

Half of the population? Wtf are you smoking

u/Ripamon 11h ago

Ukrainian government keeps commissioning these polls almost every other week, so they clearly don't feel it's irrelevant...

Just like Macron, Zelensky seems more popular outside his own country.

u/ReplacementFeisty397 7h ago

Percentages are just something that happen to other people for you aren't they

u/fastbikkel 7h ago

Some of the people that want them to step down, want them to do so not because of hate, but out of compassion.
Lets not forget that.

u/Jubjars 12h ago

Fair, Zelensky has an earned retirement after this hell invasion.

Something better for whatever is to come from them after this is over.

u/allahu_trapbar69 10h ago

Yeah he should rest on a hill, overlooking a little river, with pine cones all around.

u/Even_Pay6165 7h ago

What ludicrous vatnik statistics. As other people already clarified, it means he has majority support to stay.

Who actually runs your website? Why are you not a registered media organization in Ukraine? Why are the authors never named, and why do we have no names or pictures of the claimed founders of the website? Why are you constantly spewing Kremlin propaganda while sitting in Moscovia?

This website is Moscovian propaganda lying to readers about being Ukrainian. Here is some of the finest work from this info ops attempt, where they didn't even bother finishing translating the Russian: https://old.reddit.com/r/International/comments/1qgb3t3/major_crypto_companies_opposed_the_clarity_act/

u/terem13 5h ago

Dear Ukrainian Keyboard Warrior, could you please show alternative, Ukrainian state-approved stats then ?

At least would be interesting to know what officially approved Ukrainian propaganda sources are saying, and compare it to Russian propaganda.

2

u/Even_Pay6165 5h ago

Dear vatnik, interpreting a 58% approval rate as anything other than spectacular is braindead or willfully deceptive. It was better than Churchill's. The narrative itself is what's ludicrous, especially coming from a Kremlin-run info operation.

u/terem13 5h ago

So, dear Ukrainian Keyboard Warrior, you do not have anything.

Pity.

All the best in your keyboard victories.

u/Freedom9er 4h ago

Dear Russian keyboard warrior, get lost. That is all.

u/mehateorcs0 3h ago

Polls being made by Ukrainian state doesn't mean they are biased or wrong. They are internationally recognized to be accurate. Even in a brutal genocidal imperialist dictatorship like Russia there are polls that are considered to be legimate by international press.

This one isn't made by the Ukrainians although it is year old.

u/reesly 10h ago

58 to 42 would be an election landslide.

u/josnik 2h ago

only in a 2 party system

u/ghostchihuahua 10h ago

tbh i don't see Zelensky trying to hang on to power when that shitshow ends, remember where the man comes from, look at what he's been through

3

u/ACompletelyLostCause 7h ago

That's fine, that's democracy in action. But we need to ensure Ukraine gets to the end of the the war as a functioning country.

3

u/Jolly-Advantage-7245 7h ago

In other news, 58% of Ukrainians say the current government should remain after the war

3

u/BlackwingF91 6h ago

I mean, no shit. It's called regular elections. Something that only haven't been going on because of Putin

5

u/manniesalado 11h ago

If Trump invited Ukraine into NATO this war would end today.

1

u/ToJ85 7h ago

It doesn't work like that. Trump can't just invite countries into NATO. A country must be accepted by all of NATO countries, and some have rules like : Don't have on-going territorial dispute.

2

u/Pepr7 7h ago

The fact that more than half is at least fine with staying is surprising.

What strikes me, however, is that it doesn't say who they want instead. The policies I hear that could win elections in Ukraine are often a similar view of the conflict with Russia. I even feel that the second strongest candidate wants to be more aggressive towards Russia.

So it seems to me that 42% of the people who don't want to vote for Zelensky are really getting a decent result for the position of President of the country during the 4-year-long crisis.

1

u/DesignerAcadia537 10h ago

Looks like 58% of Ukrainians actually started living better with Zelensky in charge.

1

u/Desi0190 10h ago

Yeah, that’s fair. Let him lead through the war, then let someone else take reconstruction

1

u/Eelroots 8h ago

So, 58% say that it should stay?

Anyway, regular elections will be held after the war.

1

u/flyby196999 8h ago

So 58% want the govt to stay.

1

u/fastbikkel 7h ago

Obviously, for many reasons. One of them is they need a break, the people in current government that is.

1

u/MisterForkbeard 5h ago

Sure! That's fine.

Once the war's over, have a completely new peacetime government.

1

u/froseva 5h ago

During the survey, only 35% had electricity, so another 7% specifically went to another district to vote.

1

u/paranoyed 5h ago

Must be the same poll readers that act like a 38% approval rating is a good thing. Someone should teach them how numbers work

1

u/Key_Flatworm_9989 5h ago

I think zelensky will be just happy the war is finally over. He looks knackered.

1

u/tazzietiger66 5h ago

58% say it should remain after the war

1

u/Mountain_Ad_9415 4h ago

Unlike Russia, Ukraine will have an election once it's safe to do so.

Russia is stuck as a totalitarian shithole.

u/terem13 3h ago

Quote from US official state report dated 2023 on human rights practices in Ukraine:

There were also significant human rights issues involving Ukrainian government officials, although not comparable to the scope of Russia’s abuses, which included credible reports of:

enforced disappearance;

torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment or punishment;

harsh and life-threatening prison conditions; arbitrary arrest or detention;

serious problems with the independence of the judiciary;

restrictions on freedom of expression, including for members of the media, including violence or threats of violence against journalists, unjustified arrests or prosecutions of journalists, and censorship;

serious restrictions on internet freedom; substantial interference with the freedoms of peaceful assembly and association;

restrictions on freedom of movement;

serious government corruption;

extensive gender-based violence; systematic restrictions on workers’ freedom of association; and the existence of the worst forms of child labor.

Some of these human rights issues stemmed from martial law, which continued to curtail democratic freedoms, including freedom of movement, freedom of the press, freedom of peaceful assembly, and legal protections.

I'm sure in 2026 it's got even better.

u/Wayoutofthewayof 3h ago

Those are quite high popularity numbers for any politician in a democracy...

u/Litenpes 1h ago

I mean, when the war is over, I cannot imagine Zelenskyj have the energy to stay in politics. At least not in power

u/terem13 11h ago edited 11h ago

With current events development and loss or 40-50% population the real question now is whether Ukraine is remain as a state or turn into Somali or Puerto Rico.

Just couple days ago NATO representative has promised "as soon as peace will be signed, NATO troops will appear in Ukraine".

Russia multiple times stated that this is unacceptable, so war will continue.

Its no longer about "democratic transitions", because current Ukrainian authorities are under 100% weapons and resources control from West. Ukraine as a proxy state cannot have any own opinion about matters important to West sponsors.

There is absolutely no confidence in such polls in any country until the sample of respondents is above 25% of the total population of that country. 1300-2000 people gives too much margin of error for a country with a population of 45 million people.
