Putin is in no hurry to recognize Zelensky’s legitimacy
Press Secretary of the Russian President Dmitry Peskov said that it is too early to talk about congratulations from Russian President Vladimir Putin to the winner of the Ukrainian elections, Vladimir Zelensky.
Peskov stated this in Moscow, answering a corresponding question from journalists.
“It is too early to talk about Putin’s congratulations to Mr. Zelensky, as well as about the opportunity to work together. It will be possible to judge only on specific cases. Moscow respects the choice of the Ukrainian people, especially since this choice is very obvious. At the same time, the legitimacy of the elections as a whole was called into question when 3 million Ukrainian citizens living in Russia were not given the opportunity to vote,” Peskov said.
