Some crazy people like you think the U.S. āhas been illegitimateā since 2020. Others since 1860! But would even such beliefs ālegitimizeā another country invading us?
I donāt especially like Zelensky, disagree with much he says and does, and I did not support the āMaidan Revolution,ā but Zelensky was overwhelmingly elected in 2019 by some 73% of the vote. There is no question that Ukraineās present government ā whether we like it or not ā is legitimate and was elected democratically. Only fools and dumb authoritarian assholes support Putinās invasion of Ukraine.
P.S. Was Ukraine ālegitimateā before 2014? Was it legitimate after it became independent from the USSR in 1991? Was it only ālegitimateā when it was part of the USSR?
