Iryna Vereshchuk, the Vice Prime Minister, stated this on the Rada TV channel.

The Vice Prime Minister stated that Putin should not be recognized as the legitimate president of russia due to the elections in the TOT of Ukraine. This is similar to how they refused to recognize Lukashenko’s legitimacy due to election violations and persecution of the opposition.

Putin has a long list of ‘achievements’, including the partial occupation of Ukrainian territory, the killing and torture of civilians in the TOT, and the forcing of Ukrainians to take russian passports. He is also currently forcing TOT residents to vote for him. The civilized world must react to this, and the answer is clear: putin’s legitimacy as president of russia must be refused!
