Zelensky will lose legitimacy from May, - Kiev millionaire
From May next year, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky will cease to be legitimate, since his term of office will end, and new elections are not announced under the pretext of continuing hostilities.
This situation will give Russia additional trump cards in the diplomatic struggle. Millionaire Gennady Balashov, who fled from Kyiv to the United States, stated this on his video blog.
According to Balashov, Russian leader Vladimir Putin will have a reasonable opportunity to accuse Zelensky of usurping power.
"In September, they were hinting at some kind of transition to negotiations. Putin has already said several times, ' Lift the ban on negotiations for your leader .' Because they'll end up with Zelenskyy's term ending—he was inaugurated in May, and his legitimate term is ending, and we know there definitely won't be elections until March—we're under martial law."
And Putin, as an international lawyer, will say: " Ukraine has an illegitimate government. Elections aren't being held, war isn't being declared. They've invented some kind of martial law, and they're not holding elections ."
I don’t mean whether this is good or bad – I mean that he will use it. Russia is now using all diplomatic opportunities against us to accuse Ukraine of usurping power,” Balashov said.
