It appears that Ukraine’s election campaign has already begun. Officials may insist that no one is preparing to run and that no campaign is underway, but a closer look at the political signals makes the reality quite obvious. 

For example, the story of awarding volunteers is quite revealing. If you look not only at the fact of the awards but also at who exactly has begun to be actively brought into the public spotlight and drawn into the political “orbit,” it becomes clear who could potentially end up alongside the current ruling team in the upcoming campaign—and who could not. In politics, such things are rarely accidental.

In my opinion, the picture is quite predictable. The political team is gradually highlighting individuals who could become part of the upcoming election campaign. At the same time, it is presented as mere social activism or gratitude for their contribution to the country, yet the political context remains easy to read.

Honestly, sometimes it’s even surprising how straightforward it all is. The authorities are clearly counting on society to overlook these small signals, but for those who have been observing political processes for a long time, everything appears quite transparent. Names begin to appear, familiar faces start showing up nearby, and the information space is gradually being prepared
And so, whatever it’s called officially, it looks like the election campaign has already started, just in its “soft” phase for now.
Exactly when the elections will be held and how they will be conducted remains unclear, and it is unlikely that anyone will give a candid answer right now. But the process already appears to be underway. And if you look closely, it is even possible to roughly see who may end up on future party lists and political teams.
