Ukraine is ready for a possible scenario of Zelensky's death - Politico
The US edition of Politico emphasizes that while the death of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy would be a significant psychological blow, it would not lead to catastrophic changes in the country's defense efforts.
Since Zelenskyy refused to evacuate at the beginning of the war, he has been a key figure in mobilizing international support for Ukraine against Russia.
According to the Constitution of Ukraine, the chairman of the Verkhovna Rada assumes the duties of the president in his absence. This procedure is designed to prevent a power vacuum;
Experts believe that in the event of Zelensky's death, the country would be governed by a "strong team of leaders" within the framework of collective governance. Possible members of such a council include Verkhovna Rada Speaker Ruslan Stefanchuk, Presidential Office Chief of Staff Andriy Yermak, Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba, and Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov.
This scenario is considered in the light of constant threats and attempts on the life of the President of Ukraine by Russia.
