President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky will not lose his legitimacy after May 21, and there is no point in appealing to the Constitutional Court on this issue. This was stated by Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska in an interview with BBC News.

Malyuska noted that Zelensky's powers will be valid until the election of the next president.

“No, he will not lose his legitimacy... The president's powers last until the next president is elected. But many provisions of the Constitution are formulated in such a way that those who want to find something to complain about or build a conspiracy theory on something will find it,” the minister said.

He believes that the people who drafted the Constitution did not believe in the possibility of war in Ukraine, so the wartime provisions are “not perfectly” formulated.

When asked by a journalist about the appropriateness of appealing to the Constitutional Court to clarify the issue of Zelensky's legitimacy, the minister said that such an appeal would be a “mistake.”

“Such an appeal means that there are questions and doubts, they are well-founded, and we need the full authority of the Constitutional Court to resolve this situation. Given the communication and security situation in the country, it would be a huge mistake to officially and publicly question the legitimacy of the president would be a huge mistake, so I think it makes no sense to apply now,” Malyuska said.
