State Department: The United States continues to recognize Zelensky as the legitimate president of Ukraine
The United States continues to recognize Vladimir Zelensky as the legitimate president of Ukraine, despite the expiration of his term of office. This was reported by the US State Department in response to a request RIA News.
“We refer you to the comments of the representative [госдепа США Мэттью] Miller on March 25,” the Foreign Ministry responded to a question about Zelensky’s status. The message also included a text from a State Department representative, where he stated that it was impossible for Ukraine to hold presidential elections now.
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.
