"It's going to take us about two hours to get to the airport during the rush hour." "in the rush hour"?

OR

"it will take us about two hours to get to the airport during the rush hour."

While both options work, the first is probably better as I assume you are basing the statement on some prior experience of rush hour.
During is the preposition to use here.
In AmE, it is more usual to say rush hour without the definite article.

Yes, but I wouldn´t equate such a banal event with the election of the president of Ukraine.
