Putin announced what he would tell Zelensky.
There are many options for who Moscow could sign agreements with on Kyiv's behalf, and Zelensky could be that person, depending on what those documents are.
Russian President Vladimir Putin announced this during a meeting with heads of international media at the 2026 St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
«Any country in our position should sign documents of this kind with legitimate individuals. This is a question awaiting diligent research..
Mr. Zelenskyy's term as president expired two years ago. Now, for the first time, at the end of last year and the beginning of this year, there was a lot of talk about elections in Ukraine. Where is that talk now?
But according to the Constitution of Ukraine, the president can only have two terms of five years. If we take the point of view of those who believe that President Zelensky extended his powers legally, Two years have already passed. And now he's going to be elected for another five years? It's not allowed. "According to the Constitution. But what about the two years he's been in power now? There are many questions," Putin said.
However, he said if we do get to such documents, then “we will find those who must sign."
"Where there's a will, there's a way. As for what we could say to each other if we reach the end of the conflict, at a minimum, we could and should say: “Thank God that it’s all over.” - stressed the president.
However, he reiterated that Moscow will only sign with people who are legitimate signers of documents of this kind.
"There are many options. PThe Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada, perhaps Zelensky himself. But we just need to look at what these documents are. "And what legal consequences they will have. Where there's a will, there's a way. And we'll find a way to formalize it," Putin concluded.
