Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's term has expired and his legitimacy cannot be restored by any means. Putin criticized the cancellation of presidential elections in Ukraine, calling it theatrics and asserting that the current Kiev regime's power is based on an armed coup. He also claimed that the true power in Ukraine lies with Western elites rather than the Ukrainian people. Putin further described Zelensky as an 'illegal puppet' of U.S. President Joe Biden and reiterated that the current Ukrainian government tradition began with an anti-constitutional coup in 2014. Zelensky reportedly advised maintaining power by scaring people, provoking Russia, and declaring martial law.
