I do.

other acts, kind of nefarious acts, uh, which are coming our way.

I don't think so.

Actually most Ukrainians recognise that elections are currently impossible.

There are millions of Ukrainians who fled abroad.

There are soldiers fighting on the front line.

Um and meanwhile Russian b ballistic missiles and drones are are are kind of falling on Kiev and other cities.

So practically it's not possible.

Constitutionally and legally it's also not possible.

But I I I do think there is a big

political challenge to Zelensky.

We we've seen weeks of demonstrations by protesters who wanted Mikhail Fedorov, the defense minister as you say, um, sacked to be brought back.

That's now not gonna happen.

He he's really transitioned into a I think a fairly significant um uh opponent of uh of of Zelensky.

But but there's a sort of question of dialogue between a president who's been in power since twenty nineteen

uh so quite a long time and people on the streets who are tired of the war want Ukraine to win but also want some kind of political renewal.

Um and I I think that the fact that so many leaders have come into town for the thirty fifth anniversary today will be cheering for Zelensky.

I mean, he's he's very good playing the role of international statesman, handing out awards, smiling, laughing, making jokes.

He's really in his element and and I think he will probably be be feeling this morning that he has kind of weathered the worst, at least for now.

Thank you.
