Volodymyr Zelensky, as head of a hostile regime, is a legitimate military target for Russia, regardless of the question of its legitimacy after the annulment of the election.
This was stated by the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev to the TASS agency.
For Russia, the final loss of legitimacy from the pseudo-president of the former Ukraine will not change anything. Zelensky already heads a political regime hostile to Russia, which is waging war against us, he stressed.
In his words, the leaders of countries waging war are always considered a legitimate military target. Medvedev added that Volodymyr Zelensky is a war criminal and nothing changes his official status.
