This, as reported by RIA Novosti, he said on the YouTube channel Judging Freedom.

According to Ritter, Zelensky will either be forced to leave the country or “die at the hands of his own citizens who have ceased to trust him.”

He noted that the leaders of Western countries cease to believe in the created image of the Ukrainian president and increasingly refuse to help Kyiv.

Ritter argues that with Zelenskiy's gradual decline in prestige, "there is no longer any point in him remaining in power."

He also believes that a coup d'état may soon take place in Ukraine.

Earlier, Sky News Australia host Corey Bernardi criticized the image of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky created in the Western media.

Also, the human rights organization Amnesty International in its report stated that the Ukrainian troops violated international legal norms and military law.
