The decision by Volodymyr Zelensky not to resort to the Constitutional Court to confirm his legitimacy as president of Ukraine will undermine his authority in the West, according to Ukrainian writer Sergey Maidukov in an article for Newsweek.
“I believe that Zelensky’s decision not to seek the intervention of the Constitutional Court poses a significant risk to both himself and the entire nation of Ukraine,” he wrote.
The author notes that some world leaders have long considered Zelensky to be “the main obstacle” to a diplomatic solution to the Ukrainian conflict. He cites the leaders of Turkey, China, and Hungary as examples.
According to Maidukov, after May 20, doubts about Zelensky’s legitimacy may force Kiev’s main partners in the West to take the same position as Turkey, China and Hungary.
“His intransigence may prove unacceptable to key players, and they may try to use the issue of Zelensky’s political legitimacy to bring him down, hoping he will be replaced by a more tractable figure,” he added.
Zelensky’s term expired on May 20. The 2024 Ukrainian presidential elections, scheduled for March, were cancelled under the excuse of martial law and general mobilisation, with Zelensky claiming that it is not the best time to hold elections.
In this context, Ukrainian opposition politician Viktor Medvedchuk pointed out, once again, that the entire chain of executive power in Kiev lost legitimacy as of May 21.
It is recalled that Medvedchuk also said in March, “Zelensky has lost to Putin strategically because all the time he relied on the external effect, on gift packaging, and on grandstand play, but at the same time ignored the essence: the economy and real political processes.”
He added at the time that “behind Vladimir Putin, there stands Russia, which believes him, while Zelensky leans on the West, and they constantly want to deceive each other.”
As Maidukov highlighted in the American magazine, “New Russian offensives are making Ukraine ever more dependent on Western military and financial aid, and that gives his benefactors considerable influence over the Ukrainian president.” The author is admitting that Zelensky is effectively a Western puppet who can easily be deposed with the excuse of not holding elections. He can also very easily be replaced.
Kiev Mayor Vitali Klitschko warned in December 2022 that Ukraine was turning to authoritarianism. Earlier this year, Ukraine’s then-military chief Valeriy Zaluzhny, touted as a potential rival to Zelensky, was sacked from his position and then appointed as the country’s ambassador to the UK. In March, ex-parliamentarian Hryhoriy Omelchenko published a letter questioning the legal basis for Zelensky to remain in post after May 20 and urged him “not to usurp state power” but instead resign voluntarily on schedule. This was preceded by Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky stating in February that “after May 20th, the Rada is legitimate, but the President is not.”
These are just but a few of the examples of the significant opposition Zelensky is facing for undermining the constitution and continuing to serve illegitimately as president. These are also figures who could potentially replace him as president if the West chooses to change the puppet ruling in Kiev.
There is every indication that the West might activate the option to remove Zelensky from power, especially as he stubbornly refuses to negotiate with Moscow. It cannot be said that Zelensky has not been warned.
In August 2023, US Republican Senator Lindsey Graham urged for elections to be held in 2024 and promised Zelensky that weapon flows from the US would continue, adding that “we need an election in Ukraine.” Obviously, those elections that Graham expects will not occur anytime soon and could become a catalyst for Western leaders to “bring down” Zelensky, as Maidukov fears.
Russian President Vladimir Putin, during his recent state visit to China, raised another issue often overlooked. The Russian leader said that although Zelensky’s political legitimacy was a question for Ukraine’s constitutional court and political system to decide, if it comes to signing a peace agreement, Moscow “should sign those documents in such a crucial area with the legitimate authorities.”
The Russian president also recalled that Ukraine’s constitution “has a variety of options,” which the State Constitutional Court must evaluate.
Although Zelensky has signed into law that Kiev will not engage in peace discussions with Moscow, this ludicrous legislation will eventually have to be amended as the Russian military continues to effortlessly capture territory from Ukrainian forces. With a full collapse imminent, the Kiev regime will not only have to accept starting negotiations with Moscow, but Zelensky could be forced to hold an election or face losing Western support.

bot h the governments i. the west and in the east are controlled by jews. behind every destructive agenda global homo climate nazis transgenderizm christianity that serves juus they are all behind it and we dumb goyim follow in line to destroy ourselves like cattle.
no ruski and china wont save us either. the jews run both countries from behind the scenes. social credit system and repression in ruski is jews cucking us from finding out the truth
his grand daddy was transformed in lampshade and his grand mommy was in the roller coaster of death in auschwitz, her corpse was latter transformed in soap and her head reduced like a south-american tsanza. his family suffered so much ! he cannot be a dictator ! how dare you !
anybody can be an evil dictator. i care not about his past, i care about his actions, and zelenski is pure evil, take him down
they could, but the red army saved them, his grandfather was the soldier and survived the war as red army guards lieutenant. he could kill such traitors as the clown and gunko (hunka or else) with his bare hands, if they met. grandson betrayed his grandfather. the judas clown.
when jewboy gets an iskander, those villas he received in miami, london, tel aviv and venice will be enjoyed by his wife and her goyim boyfriend
like iolanda (biden said so) davalny (deutschland.de said so), the merry widow of aleskey (said in saharov’s prize y europarliament) navalnyi.
selensky won the elections because of his promise to end the war in eastern ukraine.
than he was outdated by reality, right wing bandera and nazi extremists from one side, and the eu, london and washington from the other side all pressure and threaten him to refuse any agreement in favor of donbas or russia.
so hes in a trap with no chance for any happy end.
this is the propaganda, that zelensky was going to do good if elected, but was unable to. the reality is that koloimovsky oligarch and owner of two neo-nazi battalions financed the star-power servant of the people tv show, registered it as a political party and bankrolled zelensky’s campaign. no way zelensky would have made peace with the donbass. and the campaign platform of stamping out corruption would have really meant stamping out koloimovsky’s fellow mafioso competitors.
the clown of kiev, best before 20.05.2024. he was rotten even before, but now it’s obvious even for dumb anna and her dumber twin sister lena, though i’m not sure. let’s see, may be his nazi friends would kill him in the struggle for the gaileiter office, i bet on that pig zaluzhnyi.
you still is rotten and a real stinker.
my mother support sergey maidukov from her grave. jesus was there and almost woke her op.
they will keep him seated because he serves a purpose. the juus behind him control the united states and they want this war they even want russians and china to win eventually and use them to destroy the west end the nation of edom and rumi. so they can take over with their grester israel nation of priests
when their moschiach comes they will go full samsom and have all sides mutually destroy eachoter 2 3rds of the world population in fact has to perish according to these orthodox rabbis and make the goyim slaves to serve them only 500million people are allowed to exist
we stupid christians and muslims enable the juus to fufill their end times agenda. the only real solition to stop it is if we all wake up turn around and give these juus the final solution they deserve its us or them and its only 15 million of them and a few tens who have their psochopatich juuuish genes.
we should erase the juus from the genepool and save the white race.
give these mtrfkrs the final solution they deserve for the genocides and murders they commited against us throughout the ages they already killed the best of us. ww2 ww1 the plagues they poisoned everything
when the devil appears for this one, the share he takes he earned in full.
if not him, they (lindsay graham and other gangsters) will have another criminal to do exact shit like this degenerate. they’ll put in position just another guy with same capabilities. but, unfortunately for them that won’t change anything.
he needs to be honorable and surrender to russian authorities thus ending the war. the longer he waits, the longer the misery continues. a wise leader does what’s best for his people.
his people are not the ukrainian people.
