Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Dmytro Razumkov denies rumors about possible early presidential elections in Ukraine. “I also see this [information about early presidential elections] in the media, telegram channels. I don’t quite understand who is doing this and why […] You know, any information campaign has to be for something. I am sure that the president will not leave his position, because a lot has not yet been done, only half of the term has passed. He has enough time to work further. Why he should leave his post is a mystery to me. There is no logic in it,” Razumkov said at a press conference on Friday in Kyiv.
He said that it makes no sense for President Volodymyr Zelensky to leave politics today.
“The President will not leave his post today and will not start doing any other things,” the speaker said.
