In light of the application of martial law in Ukraine, which lost four large regions (Lugansk, Donetsk, Zaporozhye, and Kherson) representing approximately 20 percent of the country’s area, President Volodymyr Zelensky announced last November that conditions were not appropriate for holding the elections scheduled for next year, which he This caused almost open anger in Western political circles, including America.
The Turkish researcher in international affairs, Firas Rizvanoglu, says that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has received many military and political blows in recent months, and the picture has “darkened” greatly in the face of clarification of the next stage for him and his country on the political and military levels. He has lost his military battle and the matter has become… Almost finished in terms of confrontations.
Firas Ridvanoglu adds: What Ukraine is currently doing on the front lines of the fighting has two goals: either to solicit some Western support from America and the administration of President Joe Biden, or to prevent Russia from advancing further until winter arrives and field progress becomes hampered due to ice and bad weather that hinder the movement by land of equipment. The mechanisms prevent more Ukrainian lands from falling into the hands of the Russians.

- Increasing chances of him leaving the circles of power and becoming a scapegoat who alone bears the bill for Ukraine's loss to Russia and is considered a “safe exit.”
- Western powers reconcile with Russia and secure NATO borders against any military threat that might become at the expense of the current Ukrainian leadership.
- Zelensky's clinging to the continuation of the war against Russia increases Western anger against him, and there may be an alternative, with his constant insistence on tirelessly requesting aid and support at a time when the West's economic crises are intensifying.
