Ukraine's Uncertain Future: The Aftermath of Zelensky's Assassination

In the event of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky being assassinated, power would likely transition to the chairman of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk, who has a trust rating of only 40% in opinion polls. Other key figures in the government would include the head of the president's office Andrii Yermak, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, and Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov. Assassination attempts against Zelensky have increased during the ongoing war, with calls for his elimination intensifying after Ukrainian-allied individuals invaded Russian villages. Zelensky acknowledges the threat but focuses on his bodyguards' task of prevention.
