Volodymir Zelenskyy, the President of Ukraine, expressed his reaction on re-election of incumbent Russian President Vladimir Putin.
In an X post on Monday Zelenskyy said, "These days, the Russian dictator imitates another "elections." Everyone in the world understands that this person, like many others throughout history, has become sick with power and will stop at nothing to rule forever."
"There is no evil he would not do to maintain his personal power. And no one in the world would have been safeguarded from this", he added.
"I am grateful to every state, leader, and international organization that has and will continue to call these things by their proper names", He said.
Zelenskyy said, "Everything Russia does in Ukraine’s occupied territories is a crime. There should be a fair response to everything the Russian murderers did in this war to secure Putin's eternal rule. Only one thing scares him the most: accountability."
He declared, "This imitation of "elections" has no legitimacy and cannot have any. This person must end up on the dock in The Hague. This is what we must ensure. Anyone in the world who values life and decency."
