The former president and current deputy head of the Security Council of Russia, Dmitry Medvedev, harshly attacked the Ukrainian leadership in a new publication on Medvedev wrote that “the corrupt government around the Kiev clown,” referring to the Ukrainian president, would have “crumbled.”
According to him, Zelensky “may still be sitting in his office, spewing cocaine from his nose, but he will not be the one to sign the peace treaty” to end the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Russian President’s ally, Vladimir Putin, further stated that the Ukrainian leader is “illegitimate” and that “the collapse of his system is inevitable”.

Medvedev’s comments come after Zelensky announced the departure of Yermak, his closest ally and main negotiator with the US, whose offices and residence were searched by anti-corruption agencies.
In a speech, the Ukrainian leader said he was “reshaping” his presidential cabinet, at a time when Kiev faces strong pressure from Washington to move forward with a peace agreement almost four years after the Russian invasion.
Zelenski said he would begin consultations to appoint a new chief of staff and appointed a new team to lead the next round of negotiations with the United States.
