Ukrainian voters are not seeking to elect the "old guard" as the next president, according to political strategist Ihor Hryniv. Speaking to NV Radio on August 11, Hryniv stated that Zelenskyy must recognize that the search for his successor will not include the usual presidential hopefuls. Society, he said, is not content with the experiment of change and demands a continuation of it.
Focus groups asked to describe an ideal president revealed a strong preference for military figures or individuals with experience in defense and national security. Personal achievements and professional qualifications are now seen as more important than unrealistic promises.
