Zelensky no longer legitimate leader of Ukraine – Putin

Kiev’s foreign backers are trying to blame all “unpopular decisions” on the current government, the Russian president said

The only legitimate authority in Ukraine is now the parliament, Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday after Vladimir Zelensky’s official term as the country’s head of state expired last week.

Speaking at a press conference following a two-day official visit to Uzbekistan, Putin stressed that there is no article in Ukraine’s constitution that says anything about extending the powers of the President of Ukraine, and suggested that a deep legal analysis of Zelensky’s status should be carried out.
