“Ukraine is in a state of ‘half-disintegration’ because of the policies of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. His successor faces enormous problems.”
Globalinfo.az reports that Konstantin Kosachev, deputy speaker of Russia’s Federation Council, said this in a statement to TASS.
According to the senator, the country’s problems are not limited to the ongoing military operations.
Kosachev claims that Ukraine can no longer exist without foreign support, has large debts, and that the country’s economy, industry and agriculture have suffered serious damage.
“Ukraine is not capable of living, cannot develop and is drowning in debt… In fact, regardless of who replaces Zelensky, there is no way out of this situation,” the senator said.
He added that any successor to Zelensky would face difficulties in ensuring Ukraine’s sustainable and independent development.
According to Kosachev, achieving this is currently almost impossible, and Zelensky bears responsibility for it.
Earlier, US magazine Newsweek named four candidates who could replace Zelensky as president of Ukraine. The publication’s list of leading contenders included Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the former commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and current Ukrainian ambassador to the United Kingdom. Newsweek also named Kyrylo Budanov, former head of the Main Intelligence Directorate of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence, former Ukrainian Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov, and former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko.
