The Gateway Pundit ^ | July 2, 2026 | Paul Serran

Zaluzhny is considered the favorite in a post-war election.

We have been reporting here on TGP that, since May 20, 2024, when his mandate expired, Volodymyr Zelensky has been ruling Ukraine by force of Martial law, becoming illegitimate in the eyes of many.

And, for over two years, a figure has been raising its profile to become a challenger if and when presidential elections take place: former Ukrainian top general Valery Zaluzhny, currently ambassador to the UK.

Fantastic general and seems like a very decent guy. It’ll be good for Ukraine when this war is over and they have elections again.

Can't allow the citizens to have any input before the war is over. They might not vote correctly.

“Can’t allow the citizens to have any input before the war is over. They might not vote correctly.”


Vladimir Putin’s record-breaking 87% of the vote is suspected to have been massively falsified. According to independent Russian media, the number of stolen votes varies between 22 million and 36 million, out of a total of 76 million voters.

That was my immediate reaction to the headline too.

After last night, elections are the last thing the average Ukrainian is worried about.

Are you sure the candidates won’t die of old age by the time elections are held again in Ukraine?

For sure, appointed Putin will die of old age before he sees a fair election.

They’re saving democracy by postponing democracy...or something like that.

If I was general Valery Zaluzhny, I’d be watching my back.

Apparently, the opposition to Zelensky is more hardline than he is. There is basically zero sentiment to give in to the Russians. Not surprising given the history.

69% say they favor a negotiated end to the war as soon as possible, compared with 24% who support continuing to fight until victory.

I don’t give a flying fig about Zelensky. Or elections in Ukraine.

but anyone who “replaces” litte z, no matter how, has my approval.

That poll gave two options - fight until Russia was defeated or negotiate. A majority wanted negotiations. However, polls also show that an overwhelming majority of Ukrainians don’t support making territorial concessions in those negotiations.
