hmmm, he is a dictator now for sure.. just arrested a member of his parliament for saying he needs to negotiate a peace... eliminated other parties .. denied new elections.. So much more ..Sure he is Dictator now lol
Yes, elections aren't happening until the war is done, this is Ukrainian law here basically.
Ukraine has a multi-party system, and all parties with Russian sympathies have been banned. Is this really a surprise when they are fighting a war with Russia, though.
This is definitely a tough time to be a Russian sympathiser in Ukraine. I would wait and see until the war is done to see whether he really behaves like a dictator. It's not like I'm in a rush to call him names.
I totally agree though that the Ukrainian measures to restrict the use of Russian language were definitely perceived as, let's say, a moment of cringe, in the West.
I can imagine that when the things go Zelensky's way, the future Ukraine will be strongly nationalistic and Russian-language free.
and yes, let's conveniently ignore the Ukrainian law, the war, and call presidential elections right now, to please you. I'm sure Ukrainians will be overjoyed to vote for a new president under Russian bombardment.
Few people in Poland even remember or know of Bandera. Literally everyone was ready to forget about this guy when Russians in 2022 started to plaster every conversation with his name. That's one huge red flag.
