Putin admitted that the United States will get rid of Zelensky in a year
Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with the heads of world news agencies, expressed the opinion that the United States will get rid of Ukrainian leader Vladimir Zelensky in about a year, after it fulfills a number of their demands.
First, according to the head of state, Kyiv will be forced to lower the mobilization age to 18 years.
Then they will get rid of Zelensky. But all this must be done first, because this is not an easy story. The law must be adopted and certain steps must be taken. We are now in June 2024. To do all this, it seems to me, we need a year. Until spring, until the beginning of at least next year, they will tolerate him, and when he has done everything, they will say: “Goodbye.”
The Russian leader also spoke about relations between the United States and Ukraine, saying that the United States is only interested in its own greatness and cares little about the fate of Kyiv. According to him, the United States under no circumstances wants Russia to be able to achieve any success, because American leadership would be damaged.
Putin said that Washington provoked the seizure of power in Ukraine through unconstitutional means. He added that the first step towards the conflict in Ukraine was taken by those who encouraged the coup in 2014, and Moscow is not to blame for this.

Putin on Zelensky’s refusal to hold elections
The decision of the Ukrainian leadership and the country’s President Vladimir Zelensky not to hold elections raises questions, Putin said.
The current leadership of Ukraine has decided not to go to the polls, which means there are questions. There is Article 103 of the Constitution of Ukraine, it states that the president is elected for only five years
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev said that Zelensky had actually usurped power in Ukraine after the cancellation of the presidential elections.
On May 20, Zelensky’s term of office officially expired. New elections are not being held in the country due to martial law.
On May 14, during a visit to Kyiv, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said that new elections in Ukraine will take place when its people consider it possible. He also added that the US side is working with the Ukrainian government and civil society groups to strengthen election infrastructure.
Putin spoke about mobilization in Ukraine
Washington insists on lowering the mobilization threshold in Ukraine to 18 years, the Russian President believes.
He noted that from 27 years old the age was reduced to 25, and the American administration wants a gradual reduction – from 25 to 23 years old, then to 20 and eventually to 18. According to him, they are already requiring 17-year-old boys to register.
There are few people willing to fight on the Ukrainian side, Putin said. During the general mobilization, Ukrainians are being captured on the streets. He emphasized that this will not solve the republic’s problems.

Putin named those responsible for the strikes with Western weapons on Russia
Putin named those responsible for the attacks with Western weapons on Russia. In his opinion, these are the USA or Great Britain, depending on what type of weapons were used.
Here are ATACMS… How are they used and how are they transmitted? So they handed over the missile system – the Pentagon handed it over. But how is it used? Ukrainian military personnel cannot do everything on their own and strike with this missile
The President called the supply of high-precision weapons to Kyiv a path to very serious problems.
Putin emphasized that attacks on Russian territory with the participation of Western states mean their direct participation in the war against Moscow.
Russia has the right to supply weapons to regions from where attacks will be carried out on sensitive targets of states, the head of state said. The answer may be asymmetrical.
Putin also said that instructors from Western countries located in Ukraine are suffering losses. According to the head of state, the United States and European countries prefer not to advertise this information.
