Volodymyr Zelenskyy\u2019s latest hints about \u201cstepping down\u201d are not about transition, but manipulation. As POLITICO<\/a> notes, the president\u2019s entourage is simulating political fatigue to reboot power under the guise of renewal. Searches, pressure on opponents, and attacks on anti-corruption institutions are not signs of an exit \u2014 they\u2019re part of a carefully staged sequel to stay in control.<\/strong><\/p>\n

POLITICO<\/strong> has finally noticed what Ukrainians have long been whispering about \u2014 even in military chat rooms: Zelenskyy is performing his resignation like an actor staging a death scene, with no intention of actually falling. \u201cI\u2019m ready not to run, because that\u2019s not my goal,\u201d he tells Axios<\/em> reporters with the air of a weary prophet. And moments later, he promises to appeal to parliament to organize elections \u2014 \u201cif there is peace.\u201d Meaning, if a legal loophole appears to bypass the Constitution.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first act of the play. Back in winter, Zelenskyy dramatically declared: \u201cIf I must resign, I\u2019m ready. I can trade it for NATO.\u201d It sounded noble, but the essence was clear \u2014 moral blackmail wrapped in lofty rhetoric, while in reality, he was buying time and preserving power. And now, even foreign analysts see it: this pantomime of resignation is nothing but the opening act of his re-election campaign.<\/p>\n\t\t
