Who would win if Ukraine held elections today?

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says he's ready to call a vote within 90 days — but only if the West guarantees its security. With martial law still in effect and war raging on, the legal and moral debate heats up.

Polls show Zelenskyy would still come out on top, though with much less support than in 2019. His closest rival? Former top general Valerii Zaluzhnyi — the man many see as a national hero — but he’s ruled out running during wartime.

So, would Ukrainians really vote now? Most say no — they want peace first. Here’s what the polls say, who stands where, and why the outcome still matters.

00:00Would President Zelensky still win if Ukraine held elections today?
00:03Despite the war and martial law,
00:05Zelensky says he's ready to hold elections within 90 days,
00:09if the West helps secure them.
00:11This comes after Donald Trump accused Ukraine of avoiding elections
00:14by using the war as an excuse.
00:16Zelensky fired back.
00:18I have the will and readiness.
00:20But by law, elections aren't allowed during wartime.
00:23So now, Ukraine's parliament is working to change that.
00:27But here's the big question.
00:29Would Zelensky win again?
00:30Back in 2019, he crushed the vote with 73%.
00:33Today?
00:35He'd get just over 20%.
00:36Yet, he's still the frontrunner.
00:39His closest rival?
00:41Not a politician, but General Valery Zaluznyi,
00:44the war hero who defended Kiev and led counterattacks.
00:48He has 19% support, but says he won't run during the war.
00:51A distant third?
00:52Spy Chief Kirillobudanov, with just 5% and no political ambition.
00:57And what do Ukrainians want?
00:59A vote after the war ends.
01:01Only 12% support elections now.
01:03Zelensky says ending the war, not re-election, is his true goal.
