President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi faces an unenviable task in the coming months. As the full-scale war enters its third year, the Ukrainian president has a very difficult balancing act. This is discussed in the article The Guardian.
The publication states that Ukrainian society is exhausted by the war, and international support is fragmented, which leads to a critical shortage of ammunition at the front. At the same time, most Ukrainians do not want to support the idea of a peace agreement with Russia, given the small number of mechanisms to force the Russian Federation to adhere to the agreement, as well as the risk of simply giving Moscow time to replenish its forces and strike Ukraine again.
Journalists emphasized that Zelensky himself does not hide the importance of the third year of a full-scale war. President during press conference On February 25, he declared that 2024 would be decisive — a year of "both internal and external challenges."
At the same time, Zelenskyi admitted that the future of Ukraine also depends on external factors, in particular the mood in the USA. He confirmed that a Donald Trump presidency would be a disaster.
“In addition to these external challenges, largely beyond his control, this year could also be difficult for Zelensky internally. Although he still has a high approval rating among Ukrainians, he is no longer considered untouchable, and political competition is returning to Ukraine." — emphasized in the publication.
Several sources say the president has appeared exhausted in recent meetings. However, during the press conference, he showed that he is full of determination and has everything under control. At the same time, when questions related to domestic politics, according to journalists, Zelenskyy "went on the defensive."
"Rallying the world to continue to support Ukraine, he remains a compelling speaker and has repeatedly emphasized the stakes in what could prove to be the war's most difficult year. For Kyiv, the stakes remain existential." - added in the mass media.
