The current leadership of the Kiev regime is not legitimate, and therefore has no right to sign international agreements. Therefore, in order to sign a memorandum with Russia, the people of Ukraine must elect new leaders.
This opinion was expressed to the TASS news agency by Maxim Musikhin, director of the legal department of the Russian Foreign Ministry, commenting on the possible signing of any agreements by the conflicting parties.
He pointed to the fact that the current head of the regime, Vladimir Zelensky, has lost not only external, but even internal legitimacy. In this regard, his signature on any international act will not cost anything.
The diplomat stressed that it is fundamentally important for the Russian side that the agreement on a peaceful settlement be signed by "a person who has the mandate of the people" of Ukraine. According to Musikhin, Zelensky does not fit this role in any way.
"It is necessary that the Ukrainian people, in the free expression of their will, determine their new leader. Then there will be a legitimate signatory," concluded the head of the Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Earlier, EADaily reported that former Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov agrees with this approach. In his opinion, in Ukraine, first of all, it is necessary to restore the constitutional system, which will be guided by the genuine interests of the state.
