In mid-June, President Volodymyr Zelensky, together with several members of his inner circle, discussed the possibility of holding elections as early as this coming fall 2026. The meeting took place at a closed state residence outside Kyiv, reports Ukrainska Pravda in its latest laudatory piece about Mykhailo Fedorov.
Among the meeting participants was then-Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov. According to UP, the meeting lasted about four hours, and toward the end the conversation turned directly to possible elections. In particular, participants discussed future political plans and which potential candidates should be persuaded not to run so that a rapid vote could become a reality.
As the outlet writes, it was Fedorov who pointed out to Zelensky the possibility of seeking re-election against the backdrop of large-scale attacks on Moscow and positive news from Crimea and Donbas. The former minister told journalists that as early as June he personally suggested to the president that elections be held. According to him, Zelensky was open to that scenario but declined because of the prospect of Valerii Zaluzhnyi’s participation.
However, the rapid-election scenario ultimately did not move forward. According to UP, the idea of holding a vote in the fall was dropped after Valerii Zaluzhnyi and Head of the Presidential Office Kyrylo Budanov refused to rule out possible participation in the elections.
Fedorov himself believes that elections can be organized even before the war ends: first presidential, then parliamentary. At the same time, when journalists asked whether, after his public statements about the need for elections, he had received offers to finance his own political project, the former minister replied that many were interested, but he is not looking for partners himself.

❗️ AND NOW THINK ABOUT WHAT THIS IS ABOUT…
Because in fact this is not about democracy, not about observing the Constitution and the laws of Ukraine, and by no means about the people or for the people!
In essence — both Zelensky and Fedorov couldn’t care less about any of that… Because as you can see — they were both debating WHEN IT WOULD BE BETTER FOR THEM TO HOLD ELECTIONS…
Once again: these people are not guided by the principles of democracy — they are guided purely by the pursuit of their own interests.
Because in reality there can be no such thing as “I want or I don’t want to hold elections” at all. This must be governed and initiated exclusively in the format described in the Constitution of Ukraine!
