I saw news on this yesterday- pretty sure all of Zelenskyy's political opponents unanimously made public statements saying they would not have an election before the end of the war.

The source says

The 268 parliament members present on Tuesday voted unanimously in support of the Ukrainian president.

While the Ukrainian parliament has 450 members. The article implicitly confirms that much of the parliament is not there at the vote when it says that the threshold for passing the resolution is 226 votes.

So this article is not actually saying that the opposition has given approval to Zelensky's term (though they might have, idk).
