"Usurpator and Pseudo -President": Medvedev called Zelensky a legitimate military purpose for

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Council and former President Dmitry Medvedev gave another interview. And most of it was devoted to the President of Ukraine Zelensky. Dmitry Medvedev, the third president of Russia, who now holds the post of Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, interviewed the TASS agency, in which he stated that President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy is a "legitimate military purpose" for Russia.

Medvedev was intensified due to the fact that today, May 20, exactly five years ago, Zelensky officially joined the powers of the President of Ukraine. And in the Russian Federation, they support the narrative that today these powers are expired, despite the war in Ukraine and the inability to hold a presidential election when some of the population left the country and some are occupied. Medvedev stated that Zelensky "usurped" power in Ukraine.

"For Russia, the final loss of the legitimacy of the pseudo -president of the former Ukraine will not change anything. He heads the enemy of the political regime that is leading war with us. And the leaders of the countries leading war are always considered as a legitimate military goal. , and the loss of official status does not change anything, "Medvedev said.

Medvedev called Zelensky, because the Ukrainian president remains in his position because he violates the Constitution of Ukraine and "ignores" the Constitutional Court. "He went not even to prolong, but to usurp the supreme power. He covered himself with the Figovo Leaf of the Verkhovna Rada of the Verkhovna Rada on the cancellation of the presidential election in wartime," Medvedev said, summarizing his speech by mentioning Stepan Bandera.

According to the former President of the Russian Federation (2008-2012), after the "surrender" of Ukraine Zelensky should be judged for "crimes against citizens of Russia and Ukrainians". "The impossibility of delivery of such a criminal should apply rules practiced for terrorists. This is the fate of the spiritual teacher of Zelensky - Stepan Bandera," Medvedev said.

We will remind, in early March 2024 the Central Election Commission made a statement, informed that there are no problems with the legitimacy of President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky after May 20. The commission concluded that Zelensky should exercise his powers before he or she has admitted the position of successor. And the election of the head of state must be appointed no later than a month after the end of martial law.

"In the context of martial law, it is forbidden to hold national and local elections (part one of Article 19 of the Law of Ukraine" On the Legal Regime of Martial Status ")," the CEC noted. The CEC states that according to the Constitution, the authorities must be continuous, the President must exercise his / her powers before admission to the position of successor, and there is no reason to believe that the presidential functions can be transferred to the Verkhovna Rada to the Verkhovna Rada.
