Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev believes a peace treaty with Russia could be "the end for Zelensky" and outlined how the Ukrainian president will try to stay in power:

1. Begging the West for money and weapons, proving he is in the game, that he is the hope of the liberal world, that he is the last bastion of European democracy, which the bear in the padded jacket wants to tear to pieces.
2. Faking concern for the Ukrainians, periodically exposing them as a human shield in front of neo-Nazis.
3. Assassinating Russian journalists.
4. Producing criminal untruths about the Russian military operation.
5. Appearing unshaven on camera and with eyes burning from stimulants.

"Zelensky has no other way to stay in office," Medvedev added. All of the above works "only if the office itself remains", he concluded.
