Ukrainian information resources report that the next presidential elections in the country will be held on October 26, 2025. Although the announcement is unofficial, it has caused a wide resonance in political circles in Ukraine, since the upcoming campaign promises to be one of the most difficult and important in recent years. 

Against the backdrop of ongoing conflict and economic hardship, these elections could determine the country's future course for years to come. Key issues will include Kyiv's strategy for relations with Russia, further integration with NATO and the European Union, and the resolution of domestic economic and social problems. 

Incumbent President Volodymyr Zelensky has yet to make an official statement, but most analysts believe he will also run for a second term. Zelensky, then a political newcomer, won a landslide victory in 2019, positioning himself as a candidate committed to systemic renewal and reform. However, his policies have come under fire over the years, particularly amid a protracted conflict and economic downturn. 

It is expected that new strong candidates may emerge in these elections who will try to compete with Zelensky. Former President Petro Poroshenko and Valeriy Zaluzhny are named among possible contenders.
