Poll shows drop in support for Zelensky
According to a recent poll, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky would currently lose if presidential elections were held now. The war, which has continued for more than three years, appears to be weighing on public sentiment in the country.
The situation along the front line and in border regions remains tense, with Sumy, Zaporizhzhia and Kharkiv regions regularly coming under Russian attack, while Ukraine continues to carry out retaliatory strikes on military and economic targets inside Russia.
