Kremlin spokesman says Russia wants peace in Ukraine despite Putin considering Zelenskiy illegitimate due to expired presidential term.

MOSCOW: Russia wants to move towards peace in Ukraine despite its belief that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy is not a legitimate leader, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

Putin says he considers the Ukrainian leadership to be illegitimate because Zelenskiy’s elected term has expired. Ukraine says it cannot hold new elections while under martial law as it defends its territory against Russia. – Reuters
