Russian President Vladimir Putin called on Ukrainian general to overthrow President Volodimir Zelenskyy, so in Ukraine he vowed that his army would “end” the Ukrainian army.
This difficult comment came when U.S. President Donald Trump pushed for a ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine.
Since Trump’s return to office and the threat of U.S. leaders stop supporting Kiev, the reconciliation between Washington and Moscow has strengthened Putin’s confidence for more than three years, which killed tens of thousands of sides.
The call for Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the latest demonstration by Kremlin leaders long-awaited to install a more friendly regime in Moscow in Kiev.
Putin said in a look at the Arctic Forum in the early hours of Friday, March 28 that Russia could discuss with allies of the United States, Europe and Moscow “the possibility of establishing transitional management in Ukraine under the auspices of the United Nations.”
Putin added: “To organize a Democratic presidential election, this will lead to a power in charge of the government, which will give the people confidence and then start negotiating the peace agreement on the peace agreement and signing legal documents.”
When Moscow launched its offensive in 2022, it aimed to take over the Kiev government within a few days, but was repelled by smaller Ukrainian troops.
Putin also issued a public appeal to the Ukrainian general that Australia would overthrow Zelenskyy, whom Putin had repeatedly devastated without providing any evidence because of neo-Nazis and drug users.
Moscow also questioned the “legality” of Zelenskyy as Ukrainian president after the end of his initial five-year term in May 2024.
Under Ukrainian law, elections were suspended during major military conflicts, and Zelensky’s domestic opponents said that voting should not be held until after the conflict.
Putin has been in power for 25 years and has repeatedly elected without competition, accusing Ukraine of not becoming a democracy throughout the conflict.
When asked about Putin’s remarks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was due to Moscow’s motivation to believe that Ukrainian leaders had “complete lack of control” over the army, and he was accused of trying to “attack Russia’s energy sites every day.”
He said “at this time” Russia insisted on a commitment not to target Ukrainian energy facilities – although Kyiv (including today’s Kiev) has repeatedly argued that Russia has attacked them.
“If the Kiev regime does not comply with the moratorium, Russia reserves the right and does not follow it,” Peskov said.
