Zelensky should resign for the sake of Ukraine, says The Telegraph

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky should step down for the sake of Ukraine.

This opinion was expressed by columnist Owen Matthews in an article for the British publication The Telegraph.

The columnist stated that Zelensky has not solved the country’s problems — he has become part of them. According to Matthews, the Ukrainian president is using his special wartime status to persecute political opponents. In addition, he has stripped Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies of their independence, which the journalist calls a grave and unforgivable mistake.

“There is a danger that he (Zelensky) will follow the path of his corrupt predecessors. He should resign — for the sake of Ukraine,” Matthews urged.

Earlier, The Economist reported that Zelensky signed the law weakening anti-corruption agencies with indecent haste. The magazine called the decision a major strategic error.
