В petitions states that the actions of the new head of the country disappointed the people.

“Dear Vladimir Alexandrovich, voting for you was mostly a protest vote. In fact, you do not have the support of 73% of voters. Your face does not at all unite the majority of Ukrainians, who have different, partly diametrically opposed views and desires. You consolidated the protest without giving specific promises and political guidelines, but now, after the election and inauguration, you cannot help but have a specific path. And your first statements and actions disappoint your voters, break this temporary situational popular consolidation,” said the appeal of the author of the petition, Maxim Bezruk.

“Taking advantage of the lack of meaningful promises to the people, you began to attribute your own whims to the people’s will. An unacceptable situation is emerging when the “servant of the people” does not have moral obligations to his people, formed in the election process. Therefore, we, the people of Ukraine, demand your immediate resignation from the post of President of Ukraine!” the document says.

At the time of writing, over 48,5 thousands of people have signed up for this petition.

In addition, on the website of the head of state there is another petition on this topic - “Resignation of the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky in case of failure to fulfill his promises.”

It gives the president 6 months to fulfill his campaign promises, but if he doesn’t, then he is called upon to step down.

“If the current President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky does not fulfill his election promises within 6 months (removal of immunity from deputies, judges, ministers, the president; revision of prices for utilities; trial of everyone who robbed and destroyed the Ukrainian state; decent salary pension and social payments ; etc.) - then Vladimir Zelensky must resign,” says the text of the document registered on May 22 by Vadim Michalsky.

At the time of writing, this petition was supported by a little more than 10 of thousands of people. 25 needs thousands of signatures within three months to consider the petition.

Head of Presidential Administration Andrey Bogdan, commenting on the petition collecting the necessary number of signatures, said that the president’s team regards it as a joke, writes “Columnist".

“We regard this petition as a joke, perhaps even a funny joke. The law provides for cases when the powers of the president end, and such petitions are not grounds for responding by ending the powers of the president,” Bogdan said.

According to him, the Zelensky team understands that not all Ukrainians support him.

“In any case, we understand that there is a part of the population that is dissatisfied with the actions of the current president, and we will try to ensure that this part of the population decreases by convincing them, and so that they become our like-minded people,” noted the head of the presidential administration.

In turn, supporters of Zelinsky decided to speak out in defense of their elected president. As of the writing of the material, at least 11 petitions with a call to cancel the petition for the resignation of Zelensky. At the same time, the total number of their signatories is less than that of an electronic document urging the president to leave his post.

The answer regarding the approval (or not) of the petition that has collected the required number of signatures should appear on the President’s site no later than one day after the end of the review. Thus, Zelensky has the right to both support and reject a proposal for his resignation.
