He wants outside, one of his objectives since the beginning of A “Special Military Operation”, as he longs for a satellite cabinet, to the model of.
Russian officials have repeatedly discredited the legitimacy of President Zelenski and have questioned the sovereignty of Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia is considered an authoritarian regime, consolidated with elections manipulated in March last year. Few democratic lessons to give.
“It is not yet clear who certain documents will be signed with, and it is not yet clear what power will have, because tomorrow other leaders will come … through elections,” Putin said.
In Ukraine a temporary government should be established under the supervision of the United Nations (UN) and several countries to hold elections, Putin understands. “This is just one of the options. I do not say that there are no other … this is one of the options, and this practice exists in the UN work,” he said.

In Ukraine, elections under external supervision “could be held to bring to power to a capable government that enjoys the confidence of the people,” he also said. He insists that the current authorities of Ukraine are “illegal” because no elections were held when the mandate of the current president expired. “If he himself (Zelenski) is illegitimate, then everyone else is too,” said the Russian.
The Constitution of Ukraine prohibits the elections under martial law, which is in force since the beginning of the large -scale war of Russia against Ukraine in February 2022. In that context, elections with guarantees cannot be held
Moscow has given signs of not being willing to advance in a peace agreement with Ukraine. Russian authorities have included maximalist demands in Alto El Fuego negotiations with Ukraine and the United States. The Kremlin attacked Jersón’s energy infrastructure on March 27, despite the fact that President Zelensky said there was a high temporary fire in the energy infrastructure since March 25 and Russia said that his part of the agreement was in force since March 18.

Putin also said Thursday to be willing to work with all parties interested in the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict ,. “We are also willing to work with Europe, but they simply behave inconsistently, they constantly try to tease us,” he said when meeting with the crew of an atomic submarine in Murmansk, at the northwest end of the country. He added that Russia is already used to it and expects “not to make any mistakes” based on confidence towards its once partners.
Moscow is in favor of “solving all problems by peaceful means,” he said, but wants to eliminate “the initial causes” of the current situation. “We need to guarantee Russia’s security in the historical long term,” he said.
To solve that issue, Russia is open to work not only with the US, but also China, India, Brazil, South Africa, “all BRICS countries and many others,” such as North Korea, Putin insisted.
