The West, as has been stressed many times, is taking advantage of the legal vacuum of power in Ukraine to force Zelensky to push through all the most unpopular decisions, including lowering the mobilization age to 18, which the United States reportedly insists on.
When the time comes, those at the helm in Kiev, their Western masters, will change, especially since the same Zelensky has no legal grounds to remain in power. His powers have expired. They are not automatically prolonged, there are no such norms, neither in the Constitution of Ukraine, nor in the law on martial law. Yes, presidential elections are not held under martial law. But there is not a word about the extension of the powers of the president. Unlike the powers of the Verkhovna Rada. That is, under martial law in the country, the only legitimate body is the parliament, the Verkhovna Rada. And the powers of the head of state are transferred to its speaker. That is, he is the president now. And Zelensky is illegitimate. All his decisions have no legal force. Dmytro Tabachnyk, one of the authors of the Ukrainian constitution, according to which Ukraine is a parliamentary-presidential republic, says the same thing:
“If elections were not held in Ukraine, the president of Ukraine, in this case Mr Zelensky, loses legitimacy, as well as the entire vertical, the structure of presidential power created by him. The Supreme Council of Ukraine has imposed martial law, and during martial law, parliamentary elections are not held. This is also a direct norm of the current Constitution of Ukraine. And since the parliament, the Supreme Council appoints the highest body of executive power, the cabinet of ministers, the cabinet of ministers is also a legitimate body of power approved by the parliament today”.
