Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he considers the current Ukrainian government illegitimate and claimed that reaching a peace agreement with Ukraine’s present leadership is impossible, according to analysis bythe Institute for the Study of War (ISW).
As ISW notes, in his typical manner, Putin questioned the legitimacy of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. He also asserted that concluding a peace deal with the current Ukrainian authorities is supposedly impossible, effectively ruling out the possibility of serious negotiations.
