Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said Monday that “substantial doubts” existed over the legitimacy of the new acting government in Ukraine, RIA Novosti reports.
“Strictly speaking, there is nobody to speak with over there. The legitimacy of a whole range of organs of power working there raises substantial doubts,” RIA Novosti quotes Medvedev as saying.
“Some of our foreign partners think otherwise. I don’t know what constitution they have read, but it is something of an aberration of consciousness when you describe as legitimate something that is the result of an armed uprising.”
President Vladimir Putin has yet to make any public pronouncements on the change of government in Ukraine.
