In his post, Medvedev insulted Zelensky and said he finally had the truth told in his face that, as he put it, “Kiev’s regime is playing with World War III.” The former president asked Military Aid to Ukraine to be paralyzed, something Moscow has been requesting for a long time.
Russia has been trying to show Zelensky as an unstable and egocentric US puppet, which was used by the Joe Biden government to try to cause a strategic defeat to Moscow “fighting even the last Ukrainian.”
Zelensky rejects the characterization, saying that he is doing everything he can to defend his country from Russia, with the help of his allies.

The rapid rapprochement between Moscow and Washington worries Ukraine and its European allies. They fear that Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin come to an agreement that corner Ukraine and Mine the security of the country.
Putin has said that Zelensky is not a legitimate leader because his five -year term ended last year. Ukraine, however, could not hold elections because it has been under martial law since the Russian invasion of February 2022.
Trump reverberated Putin’s narrative last week, claiming that Zelensky was “a dictator without elections.”

Former Kremlin Assessor Sergei Markov said the Oval Hall discussion should accelerate the end of Zelensky’s political career, something Russian authorities want to see for some time, believing it would be easier to close a peace agreement with someone else.
“The main conclusion that everyone has taken from Zelensky and Trump’s public scandal is that Zelensky is completely out of line and should resign from the presidency as soon as possible,” said Markov.
