The West prepares golden exile for Zelensky after Moscow and Kyiv sing peace deal

The West is preparing a "golden exile" for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky after Kyiv and Moscow reach a ceasefire, Spanish newspaper El Mundo wrote citing sources at Ukrainian diplomatic circles.

"There have been rumours in diplomatic circles of the Ukrainian capital going for two weeks now about what will happen when a hypothetical ceasefire comes. The West is preparing a "golden exile" for Volodymyr Zelensky in London, while Ukraine is holding the presidential election that had to be postponed in 2023," the article says.

Earlier, the head of the Ukrainian presidential office Andriy Yermak said that Kyiv was ready to hold presidential elections after a just peace could be established. One of the conditions for holding the elections is their recognition by the countries of the democratic world, he said.

The paper is considered one of the country's newspapers of record along with El País and ABC. El Mundo was first published on 23 October 1989. Perhaps the best known of its founders was Pedro J. Ramírez, who served as editor until 2014. Ramirez had risen to prominence as a journalist during the Spanish transition to democracy. The other founders, Alfonso de Salas, Balbino Fraga and Juan González, shared with Ramírez a background in Grupo 16, the publishers of the newspaper Diario 16. Alfonso de Salas, Juan Gonzales and Gregorio Pena also launched El Economista in 2006.
