Ousting Zelensky in interests of Russia, US, and Ukraine itself — Russian politician

MOSCOW, October 17. /TASS/. Russia, the US, and the people of Ukraine are interested in unseating Vladimir Zelensky, Sergey Mironov, chairman of the A Just Russia party, told TASS.

"The leader of the Kiev regime, Zelensky, has become a symbol not only of Russophobes but also of anti·Trump forces in Europe. His ousting is in the interests of both the United States and the Russian Federation, as well as the people of Ukraine," Mironov said.

He noted that the Kiev regime and its leader pose a threat not only to Russia but also to the global security. Zelensky, "his junta, and their European patrons" do not want peace with Russia, the parliamentarian said.

According to the deputy, removing Zelensky and eliminating his regime is a necessary condition for achieving peace.

"Words alone won’t intimidate or convince anyone now. We must not just put pressure on the Nazi scum — we must crush it! And to start with, we need to cut off its oxygen supply, which is well within the United States’ capabilities. This is what everyone who wants peace not just in words, but in action, should do," the politician concluded.

On October 10, US President Donald Trump said that Zelensky should hold elections and that he could have put an end to the conflict in Ukraine and concluded a peace agreement many times over.
