Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has strongly hinted at health issues surrounding Vladimir Putin, stating that the Russian president “doesn’t have much time”. This comment comes during a period of Putin's absence from public appearances, having not been seen for over a week. Zelenskyy described Putin as a “slave to the war” and drew a parallel to the Munich Agreement, highlighting a dangerous historical similarity. He also emphasized the need for real security guarantees before the end of the war and expressed hope for support from the United States. He noted that elections in Ukraine can only be held with a ceasefire as a prerequisite to ensure citizen access to the polls.
