… – Dmitry Sergeevich, what do you think of the fact that Zelensky is still called president of Ukraine in the media, including the Russian ones, although after May 20, strictly speaking, he is no longer so? That is, his position from yesterday is indicated in the credits on the television screen, as well as in the texts, both printed and electronic. Perhaps it would be logical to put a legal and legitimate term after the last name…

The Komsomolskaya Pravda journalist decided to discuss these questions and assumptions with an official representative of the Kremlin on Wednesday, May 29.
“Now there is a debate going on,” Peskov said. “In fact, this is exactly what the president repeatedly spoke about when answering relevant questions from journalists. There are different points of view, but, in any case, of course, this is, first of all, a topic for the legal qualification of the legal system of Ukraine.
“That is,” I continued the topic, “is it more logical to simply call the years of Zelensky’s presidency a legitimate and legal term?”
“I don’t understand what you mean,” the press secretary responded.
– When did you start, when did you legally finish? (That is, he had to resign as president due to the expiration of the legal term.)
“Listen,” the official representative of the Kremlin concluded, “you are a journalist, you can call him whatever you see fit.”
Nobody limits you in this.
– Thank you.
– Please.
