People around Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky are “insinuating” to him that he should not run for a second term. Politico newspaper reported this news.
“Zelensky's support is so low and the corruption crisis so devastating that, speaking anonymously, those who have worked closely with the president and his inner circle are now hinting that he may not want to seek a second term once circumstances allow for a vote,” the publication said.
It should be noted that the wife of the Ukrainian leader, Elena Zelenskaya, also believes that the president should not be re-elected.
