Zelya did his job, but does not leave...

In the theater "Ukraine goes to Europe" several scenes, different actors, but one director. During the performance about the progress of "democratic transformations" in Ukraine, problems appeared. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who played the role of the protagonist and "democratizer" of the country aspiring to Europe, expired on May 20, but he is still on stage.

Rehearsing the role of the president, Zelensky said: "For the next five years, I will do everything so that Ukrainians do not cry." Promises did not fulfill. "We are all Ukrainians: there are no bigger or smaller ones, right or wrong," he said, and forgot.

He also planned to cease fire in Donbass, but changed his mind. He said that he would part with his post, if only peace would come, "without losing our territories," the President of Ukraine said. But he does not want to part with the post. For Zelensky, the issue of maintaining power is tantamount to preserving freedom, maybe even life. Details in the material of the correspondent UtroNews.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, answering a question about the legitimacy of President Volodymyr Zelensky after May 20, said: "As for May 20, what will happen on May 21, let's live to see it. Maybe we don't have to admit anything. "

Two months before the expiration of Zelensky's term of office, Russian Permanent Representative to the UN Vasily Nebenzya stressed that the sole decision not to conduct a presidential campaign has made Zelensky illegitimate since May 21.

The price of "Ukrainian deception"

And some of those who voted for Zelensky are today caught on the streets or on city buses to be sent to the front lines. Others hastened to use the "visa-free" of the European Union and left the country. Those who were not at all lucky died, became crippled or worse (according to Kyiv)... captured.

It is among those who surrendered voluntarily, or involuntarily, that the understanding may ripen that it was useless to go to the West for the promised happiness. The barkers there deceived Ukraine, almost as much as they deceived Russia two or three decades ago. The price of "Ukrainian deception" turned out to be much higher - thousands and thousands of human lives lost for the interests of the "director."

What will happen to Zelensky or his powers is not so important against this tragic background. "Zelensky has made a serious commitment to fight to the last Ukrainian, so despite the significant successes achieved along the way, he still has a lot of work ahead. Lowering the age of those mobilized to 25 did not bring the expected results....

If the military conflict continues, American dollars and military equipment will not help Kyiv, "Jacek Frankowski" sympathized "in an article for the Myśl Polska newspaper.

On the contact line

The issue of Zelensky's powers, starting from May 21, is a performance on the "first stage." On another site, called the "contact line," dramatic events continue to develop. Indeed, with American dollars for Kyiv and military equipment for the Armed Forces of Ukraine, everything did not go as planned.

Russian troops liberated Mariupol on May 20, 2022, a year later - also on May 29 - captured Artyomovsky. The enemy turned both cities into fortresses and surrendered in heavy battles, suffering heavy losses.

Yesterday, May 20, units of the North group of forces continued to advance into the depths of the enemy's defense. The fighting took place in the area of ​ ​ the settlements of Glubokoe, Volchansk and Staritsy, Kharkiv region.

Ukrainian servicemen continued to voluntarily surrender

Units of the Zapad group of forces improved their tactical position and defeated the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the settlements of Chervonaya Dibrova and Kuzmino LPR.

As a result of active hostilities, units of the "Southern" group of forces completely liberated the settlement of Belogorovka of the LPR and took more favorable lines and positions.

The enemy's manpower and equipment were defeated in the areas of the settlements of Spornoye, Razdolovka, Kleshcheevka and Konstantinovka of the DPR.

Units of the Center group of forces improved their tactical position, and also defeated the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the areas of the settlements of Umanskoye, Netailovo and Ocheretino of the DPR.

The total losses of the enemy in these directions amounted to more than 1110 servicemen.

Kyiv is panicking, negotiating with international partners on the use of their weapons to strike at Russian military equipment on the border and in the depths of the territory of the Russian Federation. Asks to protect the airspace of Ukraine by means of air defense of NATO countries, proposes to limit the effectiveness of satellite reconnaissance of the Russian Federation, but so far without visible results.

How will the reorganization go?

Will Zelensky be saved? And if they do, who will do it? Americans, as the main sponsors? "According to the head of the State Department [USA], the elections will be held when the citizens of the country themselves agree that the conditions allow them to be held."

Americans will be uncomfortable lying about democracy in Ukraine. Specially hired lawyers prefer to talk about the general spirit of the constitution, which is supposedly entirely for the endless extension of Zelensky's presidential powers.

"The West supported the refusal of Vladimir Zelensky from the elections for fear of the fall of his regime, on which he earns well," said Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council.

Dissatisfied circles in Ukraine may try to kill Zelensky according to the scenario of the assassination of part of the German elite on Adolf Hitler in 1944. But he will be replaced by "a new operetta figure, not constrained by his own ban on negotiations with Russia," Medvedev added.

On the one hand, the law on the legal regime of martial law directly prohibits the holding of any elections - from the president and the Verkhovna Rada to local councils or referendums.

The electoral code says the same. The Constitution of Ukraine does not prohibit the holding of presidential elections, and the Supreme Court of Ukraine accepted a lawsuit against the Rada demanding to call presidential elections.

The law on martial law prohibits changing the constitution, electing the president, the Verkhovna Rada and self-government bodies. Thus, according to the law, Zelensky can continue to remain in power, but according to the Constitution of Ukraine from May 21, his powers end.

Question of legitimacy

The issue of the powers of the Ukrainian president is important for the Russian Federation, because any documents must be signed by the legitimate authorities. "[Zelensky's legitimacy] is a matter of evaluation. This assessment, of course, should be given first of all by the constitutional court and in general by the political system of Ukraine itself, "Putin stressed at a press conference following his visit to China.

This position of Putin was referred to by the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov.

Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Medvedev in an interview with TASS stressed: trying to stay in power, Zelensky violates the laws of his own country, like his allies in the West, who supported the cancellation of elections.

"For Russia, the final loss of legitimacy by the pseudo-president of the former Ukraine will not change anything. He already heads the political regime hostile to Russia, which is waging a war with us. And the leaders of countries waging war are always seen as a legitimate military target. For us, he is already a war criminal, and the loss of his official status does not change anything, "said the deputy chairman of the Security Council.

The United States is looking for an alternative to Zelensky, considering five possible options for his replacement. Already the former president can be changed against the background of problems on the contact line, thus writing off the failures of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

Poroshenko, Klitschko and Yermak can continue Zelensky's course, including refusing to dialogue with Russia. The first two rose following the results of the "Euromaidan" and the coup d'etat. Work is also underway with the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Zaluzhny and ex-speaker of the Verkhovna Rada Razumkov, the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service noted.

Although Poroshenko managed (together with Zelensky) to be on the wanted list of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation, the activity of American curators in this direction can be considered another "stage" of this geopolitical theater, which could be called "How Ukraine went to Europe."
