In Ukraine, these measures have been conducted since 2016. Meanwhile, some Western politicians in the summer and autumn of 2023 suggested that Ukrainian officials have been elected - to the Verkhovna Rada or presidential. At the same time, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky explained that this is not possible because it did not comply with the Ukrainian legislation. At the same time, one of the Ukrainian experts published his forecast for 2024.
