Putin and others are arguing that Zelensky is not duly authorized to negotiate a peace agreement. I agree he is not, but not on the basis Putin puts forth. Putin’s argument may not even hold water.
Don, you are exactly correct on this point. The regime itself is based on an illegal coup, thus invaldating all subsequent elections and legislation. Putin's major mistake was in his willingness to recognize it in the first place, and to negotiate with Poroshenko and the rest in the Minsk Agreements, which we all knew at the time were forced upon a Ukraine doomed on the battlefield. And Putin really thought that this illegal regime would stick to the agreements at all?
The only explanation I can come up with for highly intelligent KGB officer, Putin, falling for the assurances of compliance by Poroshenko, Merkel, Hollande, is that he and Russia's leadership understood the need to rebuild Russia's military industrial complex and prepare for a long brutal war, a replay of WWII. Was Putin hopelessly naive?
Geesh, in 2015, I visited Moscow and my Russian tour guide was giving me the anti Stalin, anti Soviet line. I finally had to say, "Don't you understand?? My country wants to destroy YOUR COUNTRY!"
And to this day, I still meet many Russians who still haven't grasped that fact--they buy into the Mickey Mouse/Snoopy/Barbie Doll idea of America the Innocent.
Your answer to the tour guide was on target. The problem is, Many Russians who learn English are somewhat Russophobic and want badly to please the Master Race in America.
Holy moly... Which fucking president is legit? I bet you can't name one. It's all a scam. A shame. All based on dirty riches and back room dealing and billionaires and graft and corruption and strong men and banks and fear and propaganda and miseducation and brain washing.
Putin's a goner. 183 million Russians ain't going to be the defender of global South.
They want Facebook and Coca Cola and Yanqui and Judaic Power.
Drones and AI snookered the global South.
Where's Putin? Go find Waldo! Century of the Jew and Goyim dead in the glyphosate water!
Just one of a thousand Jewish wins.....
The Yemeni capital Sana'a is entirely without power after Zionist airstrikes targeted the city's main power plant. A huge fire broke out after the bombing which is still burning as we speak.
It should be pointed out that when Russia targets electrical infrastructure in Ukraine, the west accuses them of terrorism and war crimes, yet they are silent when Zionist terrorists do the same to Yemen.
This sort of double standard has become so common we're almost tired of pointing it out. Just imagine how the rest of the world feels!

"I ask the court to acknowledge that the law 'on the removal of the presidential title from Viktor Yanukovych' as unconstitutional."
EXACTLY!!
This is what I keep saying.
Not only is Coke-snorting-Tu-Tu-Wearing SoyBoy NAZI Zelensky ILLEGIT because the elections were cancelled.....but he was ILLEGITIMATE FROM THE START!
One CANNOT 'coup' a govt and then call it legit!
By the way......this ALSO APPLIES TO THE USSA/AmeriKa!
PedoJoe was NEVER POTUS!
That means, that anything and everything that has been done in the past for years, is.......NULL & VOID! PERIOD! It has ALL been UNLAWFUL. The End!

Biden? Macron? Trump? Putin? Xi? Adolph Netanyahu? Christ , it's a scam.
