Putin Questions Zelenskiy's Legitimacy as Ukrainian Leader

Russian President Vladimir Putin visited his Belarusian counterpart and close ally for talks Friday in Minsk, after which he questioned whether Volodymyr Zelenskyy has the legitimacy to negotiate on Ukraine’s behalf. Russia is willing to hold talks about the war in Ukraine, Putin said, but Zelenskyy’s five-year term in office was supposed to end May 20.

However, Zelenskyy has ruled out holding new presidential elections while his country is at war — something Putin apparently ignored in remarks to reporters. Ukrainian legislation bans elections during martial law that has been in place since Russia launched its invasion in February 2022. The country would have to amend the law to elections during a state of war.

Russian officials have repeatedly called attention to the question of Zelenskyy’s term in office during the past week.

Corruption abounds everywhere in this world. No leader can be trusted. Only lies and greed.

Don't you worry. In 1994 in Budapest, Russia signed legally binding documents with Ukraine.

"Legitimate authorities "! This coming from a guy that imprisons, tortures and murders his political opponents. Justice is coming for this dude.

I love how Putin always follows LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENTS and doesn't use them as a crutch and discard them when he feels that noone will care

Laughable 😂 Putin questioning someone else's legitimacy when every opponent who challenges him either dies or disappears!

A true leader who stands up against the NATO aggression. NATO is responsible for destroying many many countries, but Russia is not Afghanistan nor Iraq nor Libia...
