Welcome to the peace initiative for Ukraine in which you can contibute by raising your awareness as well as your consciousness[+] and spirit to the modes[+] of neutrality[*], decency, respectfulness, wisdom[*], objectivity, mastery of the intellect, surrender (ego and mind to God’s will), and finally peace (inner then outer). To properly grasp everything, we recommend reading the articles of this peace initiative in the order that we[*] designed it, which is listed in the Contents. So if you haven’t read the previous articles, we urge you to do it, please. Did you read the this “Reality Checks” segment from the beginning? Please, do so for a better grasp of the topic of this article: The Real Beginning of the War in Ukraine
Ukraine is no democracy but autocracy, according to renowned Western sources[+][+][+][+][+][+]. It is an impoverished, corrupt, one-party state with censorship[+] so extensive, even the thought bubbles are vetted😊, where opposition newspapers and political parties have been shut down[+] faster than your motivation on a Monday morning😊. How is this a democracy?
"In reality, Ukraine already is a dictatorship" – arrested Ukrainian Parliament deputy Alexander Dubinsky[»]
US President Donald Trump called[+] Zelensky a "dictator" who risks losing his country if he does not act fast (negotiate a peace deal).
When a US-backed government seized power in Kyiv following the Euromaidan regime change operation of 2013-14, Ukraine’s government embarked on a nationwide purge of political elements deemed pro-Russian or insufficiently nationalistic[+]. How is this a democracy? How can they blame Putin for doing the same on a much smaller scale?! It’s like calling out your neighbor for littering while you’re dumping a landfill in their yard and hosting a trash-themed block party😊.
Among the NATO propagandists and those who fall for NATO propaganda there is much pushback on claims that Zelensky is a dictator because for them he is a hero (a narrative that we debunked in a separate article[*]) or an ally or an “useful idiot”. Therefore, we address all their doubts and arguments here, which no one in their right mind and clear conscience can deny – evidence so irrefutable, it'll make your carefully constructed narratives crumble faster than a stale cookie😊.
Zelensky has framed[+] his country’s war against Russia as a battle for democracy itself but his definition of democracy is utterly twisted. While claiming to defend democracy, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky has impeded the Constitutional Court, outlawed his opposition, ordered his rivals’ arrest[+], indicted anyone who opposes him as a traitor (such as MPs Yevhen Shevchenko[+], Viktor Medvedchuk[+][ꚛ]…), and presided over the disappearance and assassination of dissidents across the country[+]. Whoever opposed Zelensky or some of his policies was immediately fired[*] or arrested and charged either for treason or corruption. Any opponent to the Kyiv regime is declared a traitor or Russian collaborator, hunted down[+] and arrested[+]. Anyone with a dissenting opinion has won a free trip to jail😊.
Like a true dictator, in October 2020, Zelensky dismissed[+] first the rulings of the Constitutional Court (it invalidated[+] a large part of the anti-corruption legislation) and then the Court itself!
On 29 October 2020, Zelensky submitted a draft law no 4288 'On the renewal of public confidence in the constitutional judiciary' to the parliament to declare the Court’s decision null and void. Also, he called upon the parliament to terminate the powers of the judges of the Constitutional Court.
By his decree of 29 December 2020, No. 607/2020 'On the dismissal of a judge of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine', from the moment of its adoption," Zelensky completely unconstitutionally recalled the chairman of the Constitutional Court –Oleksandr Tupytsky in March 2021.
He had no right to do any of this. He has no such powers. Zelensky violated Ukraine’s constitution, which states (Article 149-1 of the Constitution; Article 21 of the Law ‘On the Constitutional Court of Ukraine’) that Constitutional Court judges can only be fired by a vote of two-thirds of their colleagues and not by the President, which was aimed to ensure the Court’s independence. Of course, the Constitutional Court declared this presidential decree illegal and rejected it, which created a conflict between the court and the president. In addition, judge Tupytsky claimed that since the Procuracy General failed to notify him of a suspicion within the procedures, he does not have the status of suspect. Thus, Zelensky’s Decree on his suspension is not only unconstitutional, but also illegal in terms of criminal procedural law[+]. In January 2021, President Zelensky had to recall[+] from the parliament his bill No. 4288 on terminating the powers of Constitutional Court judges.
Zelensky’s clash with the Constitutional Court, refusal to hold elections, and persecution of his political opponents has all the earmarks of dictatorship. It’s like a “Dictatorship Starter Kit”—just add power, stir, and watch democracy burn😊. Zelensky just makes laws as he pleases like a true dictator.
First, he passed or reinforced laws, banning a language[+][+][+], then a Church[+], then media outlets and opposition parties[+], then even elections[+]. Then, he passed laws[+]with severe restrictions on Russian books and music. Then, he passed laws[+][+][+] prohibiting his citizens to leave the country escaping his dictatorship, violating their human rights[+]. Then, he passed a law[+] that Ukraine doesn't have to pay its foreign debts.
Anyone who is claiming that Putin is a dictator for whichever reasons, for the very same reasons should also declare Zelensky a dictator as well because all that Putin is condemned for doing, Zelensky has done even more – avoiding democratic elections is just one point on a long list of dictatorial characteristics, such as exceedingly suppressing, eradicating, persecuting, and prosecuting political opposition[+][+][+], journalists[+], activists, and protesters, shutting down all independent media, banning opposition parties[+][+], banning the church, kidnapping[»][»][»][»][»][ꚛ][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»] hundreds of thousands of civilians to force them to fight for him, torturing citizens to death for contradicting the Kyiv narrative, persecuting the bloggers[+] for posting videos of real events[+] (opposing the Kyiv's narrative), no freedom of speech[»], corruption[+][+] in overdrive with evidence of Zelensky being corrupt[+][+][+][+] and surrounding himself with corrupt people[+][+][+] as well as not carrying out his pledge to fight corruption[+], etc.
Not to be outdone by Putin, Zelensky has clearly gone above and beyond in a bizarre contest for the title of "Supreme Autocrat," ticking off every box on the "How to Be a Dictator" checklist and then some. He's like the overachieving student of authoritarianism, leaving Putin in the dust. Take that Putin!😊
Here are some renowned authorities calling Zelensky a "dictator":
➡ US President Trump called[»][+][+»] Zelensky a "dictator". Trump’s like, “I know a dictator when I see one – takes one to know one, right? Mirror, mirror!”😊
➡ Tulsi Gabbard, director of national intelligence and former U.S. Congresswoman has explained[»] how Zelensky is a dictator, citing his suspension of elections and media crackdowns.
➡ Marjorie Taylor Greene, Member of the U.S. House of Representatives, has referred[+][+] to Zelensky as a dictator who banned free and fair elections.
➡ Elon Musk, American oligarch (CEO of Tesla, Owner of X) amplified the "dictator" label indirectly by endorsing or sharing[+]a blogger’s post a post on his social media platform X calling Zelensky a dictator, and he suggested offering Zelensky amnesty in a neutral country in exchange for “transition back to democracy in Ukraine.”
➡ Tucker Carlson, conservative US political commentator, called[+][+] Zelensky "a dictator".
➡ Piers Morgan, British journalist, ambiguously wrote[+]“Spoken like a true dictator!” in response to a Zelensky’s cunning statement about resigning in exchange for NATO membership (that would not bring peace but escalate the conflict because it would trigger NATO’s Article 5 collective defense clause, obligating all members to defend Ukraine militarily against Russia). Knowing how slim the chances are of Ukraine being admitted to NATO, given it does not meet several membership criteria, lack of consensus among NATO members, and constant rejections, Zelensky’s offer was insincere and a mere PR stunt or power play – a manipulative tactic, tying his personal position to a national security goal. Dictators often use such grand gestures to consolidate power or shift blame.
➡ Bob Amsterdam, a US human rights lawyer who has worked in Ukraine, said[+] that calling Zelensky a dictator is, if anything, an understatement. When a human rights lawyer says that, you know you've truly crossed into supervillain territory. Zelensky's not just a dictator; he's a dictator plus! Zelensky’s in a league of his own, somewhere between Darth Vader and a game show host.😊
➡ Oleksii Arestovych, Zelensky's former chief of staff and presidential candidate, described[+][+][+] Zelensky as a “dictator”.
➡ Călin Georgescu, Romanian Presidential candidate, called[+] Zelensky a "semi-dictator". A semidictator and a semiconductor walk into a bar. The semidictator orders half a beer, and the bartender gives them a questioning look. The semiconductor shrugs, "Don't look at me, I'll just have a byte, please."😊
No Russian or Chinese leaders have ever labeled him as “dictator” as they are genuine diplomats who never insult individual heads of state.
Ukraine has always had more pro-Russian than pro-Western citizens, as polls[+][+][+] and voting for pro-Russian president and party[+]have shown (before the Maidan revolution in 2014 when they banned all pro-Russian parties), therefore there are a lot of people who are against the anti-Russian Kyiv regime. Zelensky administration has authorized a campaign of kidnapping[»][»][»][»][»][ꚛ][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»], torture, and assassination of local Ukrainian lawmakers accused of allegedly collaborating with Russia. In the first two months of Russian SMO, eleven mayors and many other Ukrainian officials were killed[+] by Ukrainian state agents as their only crime was engaging in de-escalation talks with Russia.
Zelensky has further exploited the atmosphere of war to outlaw an array of opposition parties and order the arrest of his leading rivals[+]. His authoritarian decrees have triggered the disappearance, torture, and even murder of an array of human rights activists, communist and leftist organizers, journalists[+], and government officials accused of “pro-Russian” sympathies. While Zelensky spouts clichés about the defense of democracy before worshipful Western audiences, he is using the war as a theater for enacting a blood-drenched purge of political rivals, dissidents, and critics. He’s like a Shakespearean villain, but with worse reviews and a body count that’d make Macbeth blush😊.
On the battlefield, the Ukrainian military has engaged in a series of atrocities against captured Russian troops[+][+][»] and proudly exhibited its sadistic acts on social media[»][»][»][»][+]. Here too, the perpetrators of human rights abuses have received approval from the upper echelons of Ukrainian leadership. Ukrainian soldiers’ use of the cellphones of dead Russian soldiers to mock and hector their relatives appears to be a common practice. In fact, the Ukrainian government has begun using notoriously invasive facial recognition technology[+] from Clearview AI[+], a US tech company, to identify Russian casualties and taunt their relatives on social media. Because nothing says "moral high ground" quite like using advanced tech to digitally spit on your enemies' graves😊.
“The war is being used to kidnap, imprison and even kill opposition members who express themselves critical of the government,” a left-wing activist beaten and persecuted by Ukraine’s security services commented[+] in April 2022. “We must all fear for our freedom and our lives.”
On Ukrainian TV, a Ukrainian deputy from the Servant of the People Oleg Dunda declared[»][»] that “There should be no freedom of speech during war.” Talk about a ringing endorsement of democratic principles😊! Imagine if Putin or a Russian deputy would say that! The West would have a field day, but when Kyiv says it, it's just "wartime pragmatism."
Kyiv regime claims they are fighting for freedom but they banned men from leaving the country and since June 2025, plan to ban[»] young girls between the ages of 18 and 27, too. Ukraine's Minister for European Integration Olga Stefanyshyna has launched an initiative to ban Ukrainian girls from leaving the country and has already received support in the parliament. They are like: “Girls, you’re not going anywhere – freedom’s overrated.” Ukraine might need to rename itself "Hotel California," because you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave[»][»][»].😊
Ukrainians are often depicted to be defending freedom and democracy against evil and autocracy, despite all the Western experts[+][+][+][+][+][+]designating Ukraine as an autocracy. And despite all the evidence of Ukraine being a non-democratic authoritarian state:
➡ US-backed corrupt politicians came to power through revolutions or coups rather than through democratic ways and stayed in power only because they eliminated and banned the major opposition parties and candidates. Since 2004 there were two US-funded revolutions (2004 and 2014), which blatantly discarded democratic processes and installed new US-puppet regimes via violence and fraud.
➡ political persecution – like a dictator, Ukrainian President Zelensky sacks or persecutes and prosecutes his political rivals[+] and anyone who criticizes him
🔵 since the US organized[*] a coup or a revolution in February 2014 to install an anti-Russian government, in a country with around eight million ethnic Russians and more than half of the country being pro-Russian (according to Kyiv International Institute of Sociology – KIIS opinion polls[+][+][+]) and voting for pro-Russian president and party[+], all pro-Russian political parties and presidential candidates were either banned or prevented to participate in elections – is that democratic?! For instance, the pro-Russian Party of Regions[+] was the most popular[+][+][+] political party in Ukraine until 2014 (since 2006, it won all three parliamentary elections) but then suddenly ceased to be active until it was banned. On 20 March 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky banned 11 other pro-Russian political parties[+], only pro-Western parties are allowed – is this how democratic leaders act?
🔵The Ukrainian government enacted authoritarian laws to gain an absolute monopoly on power – the suppression, eradication, persecution, and prosecution of political opposition and dissent[+][+][+] E.g., in 2014, they outlawed the Communist Party and several pro-Russian parties banning them from running candidates in elections. Is this democracy? In May 2022, Zelensky enacted a law that allowed him to ban any political parties merely accused of being “pro-Russian,” without any right to appeal. In March 2022, Ukraine suspended 11 political opposition parties[+], including OPZZh, the second biggest party in terms of parliamentary seats and banned them from any political activity. Since then, in total, 19[+][+] pro-Russian political parties have been prohibited in Ukraine and their assets seized by the state. And all this while fascist groups and parties such as Azov, Svoboda, and Right Sector are permitted to exist and even given weapons and funds. Anyone opposing Zelensky's autocratic regime is labeled pro-Russian, some or many of whom might even be pro-Russian rather than pro-NATO, why not. How many opposition parties does Zelensky regime has to ban for the West to realize that there is no democracy in Ukraine??? 19 is not enough for them, so a few dozen more bans might be needed before they notice the democracy has left the building.
Joke of the day:
President Zelensky shows up in one of the Kyiv's primary schools.
After the welcoming ceremony there is some time for the students to ask the President a few questions.
Little Ihor stands up and says: I only have 2 questions:
1. Why did Russia take over the Crimea?
2. What are Ukrainian soldiers doing in Kursk region?
Before Zelensky was able to say anything the bell suddenly rang, and all the students went for a break.
After the break, when everyone was back, a different student stood up and said:
Dear Mr. President, I have only four questions:
1. Why did Russia take over the Crimea?
2. What are Ukrainian soldiers doing in Kursk region?
3. Why did the bell rang 20 minutes early?
4. Where is Ihor?
Whoever assumes that Putin killed or jailed many of his political rivals, then to be fair, they should also assume the same for Zelensky’s critics and rivals who were killed or detained that Zelensky personally did it. For obvious reasons in information warfare, “Zelensky did it” narratives are totally absent in the media in NATO countries whereas “Putin did it” narratives abound. For the truth about the Zelensky regime and its political reprisals against dissidents, google these names – if you care about the fate of Navalny, then you should also care about the fate of those opposition figures and rivals that Zelensky regime either murdered or detained:
🏴 Murdered by Kyiv regime:
Volodymyr Struk[+] – (kidnapped and murdered mayor of Kreminna in the Lugansk People’s Republic[+]
Denys Kireev[+] – top member of the Ukrainian negotiating team killed in Kyiv after the first round of talks with Russia
Davyd Zhvania – a critic of Zelensky, former MP and Emergency Minister of Ukraine killed in a car bomb explosion[+] after he offered evidence against the administration but blamed on Russian shelling; he had Russian citizenship
Oleksiy Vadatursky – agricultural tycoon and Yanukovych ally killed by missile strike targeting his home[+]
Denys Monastyrsky – Ukraine’s Interior Minister, killed in a helicopter crash[+]; he was investigating illegal arms sales to Africa, Chad. When Russian politicians die in an accident, Western media immediately accuses Putin of killing them, thus by the same logic, it can be also said that Zelensky killed him and his aides.
Yevhen Yenin – Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, killed in a helicopter crash[+])
Yurii Lubkovych – State Secretary of Internal Affairs, killed in a helicopter crash[+])
Ilya Kiva/Kyva – former Ukrainian MP whose opposition party Zelensky banned, fled to Russia due to his fierce criticism of Zelensky, was shot dead[+][+][+] by Ukrainian SBU in Moscow Region in December 2023
Oleksii Kovalov – Ukrainian MP was shot dead[+] in attack on his residence in Kherson
Oleksandr Rzhavskyy – former MP, a critic of Zelensky, pro-Russian[+] Ukrainian politician was killed in Bucha massacre, which also proves that Ukrainians did it but blamed it on the Russians, as why would Russians kill a pro-Russian official?!
Gonzalo Lopez Lira – American journalist, died in detention in Kharkiv after criticizing Zelensky and Biden
Sergei Gorenko – the Prosecutor General of the Luhansk People's Republic was killed[+] in an explosion in the department's building
Andrey Portnov – former advisor to Ukrainian president Yanukovych was assassinated[+] in Madrid
27+ other Ukrainian officials[+] who defected to Russia were either killed or attempted[+][+][+][+][+] by Kyiv regime forces in 2022 alone
🚩 Disappeared (presumably murdered):
Dmitri Djangirov[+] – Ukrainian journalist, director of 1+1, a Ukrainian state television channel, and political scientist disappeared[+] after being apprehended by SBU
Aleksandr Karevin – disappeared[+] captured historian and publicist
Oleg Novikov – former deputy of the district council, person with disabilities detained and disappeared[+]
Elena Berezhnaya[+] – Russian Olympic champion skater, Ukrainian human rights defender and anti-fascist activist was arrested by SBU and disappeared[+]
11 mayors from various towns in Ukraine disappeared[+] by April 2022, presumably killed or extrajudicially detained
🔗 Detained:
Viktor Medvedchuk[+][ꚛ] – an opposition leader and Ukrainian MP that Zelensky got arrested in April 2022 and was released in September 2022, as part of a prisoner swap
Mikhail & Aleksander Kononovich[+] – brothers who are leaders of a youth wing of the banned Communist Party of Ukraine, arrested and detained; their condition is unknown
Artem Dmytruk – detained Ukrainian MPabducted[+][+] in March 2022 and was tortured[+] for criticizing Zelensky, he fled[+] Ukraine after threats[+] tied to his support for the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
Yevhen Shevchenko – Ukrainian MP tortured[+] and jailed[+] in November 2024 for treason for supporting Trump[+], Lukashenko[+] and criticizing Andriy Yermak[+]
Vitaliy Grushevsky – detained Ukrainian was abducted and tortured by the SBU for criticizing the authorities and engaging in political activity[+]
Evgueniy Muraev – accused of high treason former Ukrainian MP, leader of the now‑banned party "Nashi"
Ihor Kolomoyskyi[+] – Jewish oligarch who used to be Zelensky's boss and instrumental in him becoming a president; arrested in September 2023 on charges of money laundering and fraud, and later charged also for embezzlement and ordering the contract killing
Yan Taksyur[+] – a journalist popular within the Ukrainian Christian Orthodox community was rounded up by SBU forces in Kyiv on and detained without any official charges
Viktor Shestakov – detained journalist, head of the Russian community in the Poltava Oblast
Sergei Shubin –head of the Department of Humanities of the Nikolaev Institute of Law was sentenced to 15 years in prison[+]
Aleksander Bryukhanov – detained mayor of Yuzhnoye[+]
Aleksander Zamiraylo –detained Cherkasy City Council deputy from the "Opposition Platform – For Life"[+]
Ilya Karamalikov – detained Kherson City Council deputy[+]); Vladimir Klimenko (detained Mariupol City Council deputy[+]
political analyst Mykhailo Pohrebynskyi, politician Vasyl Volha, Yurii Dudkyn, Dmytro Skvortsov[+], famous influencer Anna Alkhim[+], and the list goes on and on[+][+][+][+]. Read UN reports: Report 1[+] and Report 2[+]
Meanwhile, Western media is so busy blaming Putin for every sneeze, leaving them little bandwidth to notice any "Zelensky did it" accounts. Rest assured, if a tree falls in the forest and nobody hears it, Western media will still find a way to trace the lumber back to a Kremlin-funded deforestation initiative. Other inconvenient truths, apparently, are still in the queue.😊
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken condemned[+] Russian President Putin for arresting political opposition when in August 2023, US-puppet pro-West Aleksey Navalny[+][+] was sentenced to a further 19 years in prison (on charges of extremism this time; previous charges were on embezzlement). Navalny was one of Putin’s weakest political opponent1, so he never posed any threat to Putin and all other ones are alive and kicking. Butwhy didn't Blinken condemn Zelensky when he got opposition politician (the founder of the second largest party in Ukraine) Viktor Medvedchuk[+][ꚛ] or US journalist Gonzalo Lira arrested and tortured to death[+], or attempted to arrest his rival former president Poroshenko[+], or when Ukrainian politician Ilya Kyva and peace negotiator Denis Kireev were killed by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), or when he banned 11 political opposition parties?! The US has many political prisoners[+], too – guess hypocrisy’s the leading American export😊. With such hypocrites leading the US, no wonder the world is outraged by American double standards.
Time for a humor break 😊
In a recent interview, Zelensky was accused of imprisoning political opponents.
"This is complete nonsense!" Replied Zelensky, "I have never considered anyone an opponent!"
🔵 Zelensky fires[*] anyone who criticizes him, such as the country’s ambassador to the United Kingdom, Vadim Pristaiko[+], after he described Zelensky’s response to UK Secretary of State for Defense Ben Wallace as "a little bit of sarcasm." Wallace, too, had to step down for it[+][+]. He also jailed his former boss and patron who made him into President, oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky. Another instance is when in May 2024, The Jerusalem Post wrote[+] that Zelensky keeps firing his closest advisers and assistants, including fellow Jew Serhiy Shefir, his right-hand man since 2019. Usually, he just accuses his critics of corruption or treason to get away with it. However, considering the vast amount of people he sacks all the time, one has to question whether this is due to him being authoritarian or just incompetent (because he hires wrong people all the time, whom he has to later fire).
🔵 Zelensky keeps firing his team members all the time or forcing them to resign. Some notable fired officials charged conveniently for either corruption or treason (collaboration with Russia) or incompetence are his Chief of Staff Andriy Bohdan[+], Head of the Constitutional Court Oleksandr Tupytsky[+], Ukraine's joint forces commander Major General Eduard Moskalyov[+], Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Ivan Lukeryu and Vyacheslav Negoda, Deputy Minister for Social Policy Vitaliy Muzychenk, five regional governors of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy, and Kherson[+], Deputy Prosecutor General Oleksiy Symonenko, Prosecutor General Iryna Venediktova[+], the Head of Ukraine's Security Agency, the SBU Ivan Bakanov[+], ambassador to the UK Vadym Prystaiko[+], MP & Deputy chief of Ukraine's Committee of National Security, Defense, and Intelligence Yuriy Aristov, Heads Of Military Enlistment[+], Defence Minister Oleksii Reznikov[+] with all of 6 Deputy Defense Ministers including Hanna Maliar and the State Secretary of the Ministry of Defence Oleksandrovych[+], American transgender Ukrainian military spokesman Sarah Ashton-Cirillo[+], the heads of all the regional draft offices, the Commander of the Ukraine's Territorial Defence Forces General Tantsyura[+], commander of the AFU special operations forces Viktor Khorenko, Medical Forces commander Major-General Tatyana Ostashchenko, Ukraine’s cyber security chief[+]Yury Shchyhol and his deputy Viktor Zhora, commander of Ukraine's Logistics Forces Oleh Huliak, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi and many generals loyal to him, Chief of the General Staff Serhiy Shaptala[+], Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Oleh Nikolenko[+], spokesman for Ukraine’s Air Force Yurii Ihnat[+], Ukrainian National Security and Defense Secretary Oleksiy Danilov[+], deputy head of the Presidential Office Andrey Smirnov and Alexey Dneprov[+], his first assistant Serhiy Shefir (fellow Jew with whom he had co-founded his production company, Kvartal 95) and several other senior advisers and authorized representatives[+], the head of Ukrainian State Security Administration (UDO) Serhii Rud[+],Deputy PM and Infrastructure Minister Oleksandr Kubrakov[+], Agriculture Minister Mykola Solskyi[+], Commander of the Joint Forces of Ukraine's Armed Forces Lieutenant General Yuri Sodol[+], Air Force Commander Mykola Oleshchuk[+], Deputy head of Zelensky's office Rostislav Shurma, Chief of Staff of the Command of the Unmanned Systems Forces Roman Gladky, Commander of the ground forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Pavlyuk[+], Governors of Kyiv and Poltava regions Ruslan Kravchenko and Filip Pronin[+], Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Anatoliy Barhylevych[+]...
🔵 Zelensky regime persecutes and jails anyone who criticizes them or does anything against them, such as members of opposition and pro-Russian people (more than half of the country was always pro-Russian or anti-NATO or anti-EU, as all elections and polls prove), such as this 82-year-old man Yuri Chernishov[+] who got a life-sentence (15 years) on charges of high treason and collaborating with Russia. Just like Gonzalo Lira, this guy also exercised his right to free speech, whereby he openly criticized the fascist Kyiv regime in his literary and analytical publications, and since Kyiv could not arrest him for free speech, they invented (no evidence) that he was collaborating with Russia against Ukraine. And like Lira, knowing what awaits him, Chernishov jumped bail during his trial and attempted to flee but was apprehended on the Belarus border. MP Yevhen Shevchenko got jailed for calling on Zelensky to begin dialogue with Putin[+]. Talk peace? That’s a jail cell with your name on it! Many other critics of regime were arrested for their tweets “spreading fakes about the war in Ukraine” and face 5 to 8 years in prison, such as political analyst Dmytro Korniychuk[+][+], a blogger from Odessa Yevgeny Levchenko[+], a blogger-cosmetologist[+] from Kyiv, and many more.
🔵 Zelensky regime sanctions their critics, such as the former advisor to President, Oleksiy Arestovych[+], former President Petro Poroshenko[+], and 8.300[+] other Ukrainian citizens, despite the Constitution of Ukraine expressly prohibiting the use of sanctions against its own citizens!
➡ the persecution of independent reporters (e.g., Gonzalo Lira[+], Anatoly Shariy[+][+][+][+] – one of the country’s most popular journalists, Ruslan Kotsaba[+][+], Diana Panchenko[+][+][»], Nazarov and Korneichuk[+], Yuri Chernishov[+], Kirill Vyshinsky[»]), editors[+], and media companies[+] as well as members of the public and religious organizations who are objectionable to the Kyiv regime and as such classified as traitors and Russian collaborators. Democracy can only thrive when journalists work without fear or favor.
US-Chilean reporter Gonzalo Lira was arrested and tortured to death
sanctions against its own citizens, companies, television channels, other media outlets, and even members of parliament
anyone who criticizes the new regime, especially journalists, has been imprisoned, tortured, or assassinated
the list[+] of those kidnapped, tortured, and imprisoned by Ukraine’s security services since the outbreak of war grows by the day
➡ the persecution of peace activists (e.g., Yurii Sheliazhenko[+][+], a well-known Ukrainian peace activist, conscientious objector, pacifist, human rights defender and lawyer, Executive Secretary of the Ukrainian Pacifist Movement, has been placed under partial house arrest[+] by the Solomyanskyi District Court of Kyiv on 15 August 2023) – crackdown on peace activists and anti-war people reveals their growing intolerance for dissent. People are prosecuted and detained simply for peacefully expressing their genuine pacifist views, vocally opposing any escalation of the conflict, calling for a ceasefire and peace talks to end the war[+]
➡ no free speech – Free Speech, Ukrainian Style: Say Goodbye to Your Opinions😊. Apart from politicians and journalists being persecuted and prosecuted in violation of their free speech rights, all other common people get the same treatment – here are just a couple of shocking examples:
An elderly woman who replied to a reporter that “Ukraine started the war in 2014” was arrested for saying that[»], even though even NATO chief said it[+][»]
Ukrainian fortune-teller/tarot cards reader was arrested during her live stream session[»] because she was doing a reading on Zelensky that was unfavorable to him – the cards showed that he was aggressive, irrational, too emotional, self-centered, his decisions bring harm to Ukraine, surrounds himself with greedy, power-hungry people like him. The actions of the so-called authorities are reminiscent of the Nazi Gestapo's in the 40s. (Disclaimer: not sure if this was staged)
➡ virtual elimination of independent media outlets and total state propaganda[+]
in February 2021, Zelensky closed down three TV channels[+][+] (the 112, NewsOne and ZIK news) and banned[+] the opposition media news sites such as Strana.ua as well as imposed sanctions on its editor-in-chief, Ihor Huzhva, without any legal basis. He broke his 2019 promise pledging[+] to “never, ever shut down any TV networks.”
suppressing press freedom and strict censorship – Zelensky ordered the drafting of a new law to boost media regulation in 2019. In December 2022, Zelensky signed[+][+] authoritarian law expanding government power to regulate media groups and journalists in the country. Media regulation? More like media strangulation – say bye to free press😊!
the authoritarian Ukrainian government enacted laws to crackdown on the freedom of expression – detaining bloggers who publish footage of bombing and false working of air defense – e.g., the SBU2 opened criminal proceedings against 6 bloggers[+] who face up to 8 years in prison. Who said it’s a free country?!
➡ no rule of law:
over the past years, international human rights monitoring organizations have recorded many facts of illegal detention, torture, intimidation, harsh treatment, and sexual violence, including forcing people to confess their guilt or cooperate. Such examples are regularly included in the reports of the United Nations Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU). In November 2021, the Human Rights Committee expressed concern over information about ongoing torture and harsh treatment by the Ukrainian security forces, while indicating that the number of cases of convictions for such violations is small[+]. Clearly, justice is a little shy in Ukraine😊.
extrajudicial reprisals – illegal arrests and subsequent detention, torture, intimidation, and inhuman treatment, as reported since 2014 by UN Human Rights Monitoring Mission in Ukraine (HRMMU) and The US State Department Reports, such as in 2022 on Human Rights Practices in Ukraine[+]
The UN OHCHR found[+] in 2016 that “arbitrary detention, enforced disappearances, torture and ill-treatment of such conflict-related detainees were common practice of SBU… A former Kharkiv SBU officer explained, ‘For the SBU, the law virtually does not exist as everything that is illegal can be either classified or explained by referring to state necessity.” It's a very flexible legal system, perfect for those who prefer their justice... improvised😊.
Vasyl Maliuk, the head of the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), explained[»] how they intimidate judges to achieve prosecutions of certain people. They’re not even hiding it … that’s pure fascism in the open.
the Ukraine regime runs[+] the Myrotvorets kill list[+][+][+] – the website was created[+] on the initiative of a former freelance advisor to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, is run by the Ukrainian government[+] (secret services SBU[+], funded by the CIA and hosted by NATO). Human Rights Watch[+], The UN Committee on Human Rights[+], the EU Parliament[+]The Schiller Institute and the Executive Intelligence Review[+], and human rights activists of the Foundation to Battle Injustice[+] condemn it for violating numerous UN resolutions on human rights and the safety of journalists endangering the lives of hundreds of journalists and freedom of expression. As of September 2022 there were 327 children on the kill list[+]. Here is what they post on their homepage[+] flaunting the attrocities they have done to Russian POWs:
The caption: DEATH TO RUSSIAN-FASCIST INVADERS AND OCCUPIERS!
➡ violation of ethnic minorities rights[+][+] – the Kyiv government has drawn criticism from international organizations for its restrictions on the rights of ethnic minorities. Kyiv’s attitude and policy towards national minorities changed after the annexation of Crimea to Russia in 2014. Three years later, in 2017, the Ukrainian parliament adopted the Law on Education, which severely limited the existing rights of ethnic minorities to receive education in their native language. And if that wasn't enough to stir the pot, in 2019, the law on the state language literally banned the use of historical minority languages in 30 spheres of public life. Kyiv’s been on a banning spree since 2014, wiping out Russian culture[+] like it’s a bad Yelp review😊 – even ballerinas got the boot! After the revolution or a coup, Kyiv regime has embarked on a cultural purge, banning pro-Russian TV channels[+][+]and radio stations3[+], films[+], books[+], newspapers[+], social media[+], songs[+], plays and concerts[+], arts[+], 200 cultural figures[+][+] (actors, film directors, singers, ballet dancers, writers, etc.), pro-Russian political parties4, etc. They went so far as to ban Russian medicines[+], stopped paying pensions[+] to ethnic Russians, and many other human rights violations, because nothing says “human rights” like denying grandma her pills😊. In order to comply with the EU's accession criteria of protecting national minorities, the Ukrainian parliament adopted[+] a new Law on National Minorities[+], however, in a twist that would make a legal drama proud, this new law does exactly the opposite: Kyiv strips its ethnic minorities of rights they previously enjoyed, thereby provoking conflicts and this war. It's almost as if they're trying to win a prize for "most self-defeating policy."😊
For instance[+], ethnic minorities such as Poles, are not warranted under the new legislation to freely use their ethnic-national symbols, even though they are fighting on the front lines, and Poland provides the biggest possible support to Ukraine. One might think gratitude would involve not hamstringing their cultural expression, but apparently not😊. They are provided less time to air Polish-language media content and can barely use their mother tongue in schools or outside their homes, even though they were free to do so since the independence of Ukraine. Hungary opposes all EU measures[+][+] partly due to Ukraine's bad policy on minorities, including the Hungarian ethnic minority.
“First, second and third duty of democracy is freedom for all.” – Qamar Rafiq
➡ violation of human linguistic rights[+] – in 2019, Kyiv regime passed the law on the state language that banned the use of ethnic minority languages in 30 spheres of public life5, which was equally strongly condemned[+][+][+][+][+] by most of the ethnic minorities (Russia, Hungary, Greece, Romania, and Bulgaria), as well as European Parliament[+][+] and the Council of Europe Venice Commission[+][+], as well as all major human rights organizations, such as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights – OHCHR[+], Human Rights Watch[+], and OSCE[+]. It seems everyone with a say in human rights was lining up to criticize this one. These new restrictive laws violated international law, the Universal Declaration of Linguistic Rights[+], the European Charter for Regional or Minority Languages[+], ratified by Ukraine in 2003, and Article 27 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights[+], and even the Ukraine’s Constitution and its Declaration of Independence, as well treaties with Russia. When you're breaking that many rules, it's less a "misstep" and more a "full-blown stride in the wrong direction." International law mandates the rights of ethnic, religious, and linguistic minorities to enjoy their own culture, profess their own religion, and use their own language[+]. Apparently, Kyiv missed that memo😊.
➡ religious prosecution[+] – in a surprising twist for a country allegedly striving for democratic values, there's a total ban[+][»] on the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. This includes the persecution[+], prosecution[+][+][+][+][+], imprisoning[ꚛ][+], harassment[»], revoking the Ukrainian citizenship[+], beating[»][»][»][»], killing[»] of the clergy, and forced eviction of the Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra[+] monastery's brethren, all of which seem to be given a nod of approval by the West[+]. “Ukraine, without any doubt or unnecessary modesty, is the leader of democratic transformations”[+][+]– Zelensky, the joker, at the Summit for Democracy! Meanwhile, while Zelensky is persecuting priests, he has not prosecuted a single neo-Nazi or any commander or general who are committing crimes – unlike Russia with the rule of law[+][+] there.
➡ autocratic nature of the Ukrainian government is evident also in that every single one of Zelensky's proposals gets approved, which is because it is a one-party government, Zelensky's party (it has a majority in parliament and so it assures enough votes for all new policies and laws), which consists of his friends – basically a squad of yes-men who got their jobs not because they are competent but because they fall in line with Zelensky's puppetmasters' agenda. In other words, just like in authoritarian regimes, Zelensky’s got a magic wand: wave it, and poof – marijuana[+], porn[+], and even organ trafficking[+][»] become legal, while opposition, independent media, Orthodox Church, Russian language, books, and TV channels[+][+] get the banhammer, all courtesy of his US scriptwriters, because, you know, priorities!😊
All authoritarianism starts this way, like in Nazi Germany.
➡ cronyism6 is another glaring piece of evidence showcasing Zelensky's autocratic regime – Zelensky’s government is less a cabinet and more a reunion of his TV show’s cast party😊. Upon assuming the role as Head of State, Zelensky didn't exactly surround himself with seasoned political and foreign policy advisors; instead, he dipped into his personal Rolodex and hired the cast and crew of his media production company to run the country. We're talking actors, scriptwriters, cameramen, film editors, promotional people, and media technical advisors. A total of 12 of his Kvartal 95 buddies were appointed to a variety of government gigs[+][+]. He tossed another 20 cronies[+] into parliament and key roles (President’s Office and central executive bodies or members of supervisory boards and committees), like handing out VIP passes to his high school reunion😊. Zelensky was ill-prepared for the role of a real President, which is why he should have appointed competent ministers and bureaucrats with relevant education and experience in these fields, yet he appointed[»] his clueless but loyal pals in all high offices, like casting a sitcom with no auditions.
Zelensky’s been handing out jobs to controversial folks with resumes shadier than a back-alley deal and facing criticism for appointing individuals[+][+][+] with questionable backgrounds to key positions. For example, in September 2023, he appointed a former Ukrainian football player as his adviser[+][+] despite him not having any credentials or competencies for that job. Because when you're facing a war, who better to advise you than someone who can kick a ball really well?😊
Given that obedience trumps competence in his administration and "loyalty over ability" is the national motto in Kyiv these days, it's hardly surprising that Ukraine is shrinking faster than free pizza at a tech conference, and that those responsible are blaming good old Putin for their failings.😊 As a showbiz clique is running the country, rather than the usual experienced political experts, Ukraine's map is getting a spontaneous redesign. Yet somehow, the blame for this disappearing act always seems to land squarely on Putin's shoulders. After all, someone has to be the villain in this show gone wrong, right?😊
➡ our shining “beacon of democracy” Zelensky canceled both the parliamentary[+] and presidential[+] elections (supposed to be held in October 2023 and April 2024 respectively) using martial law7[+] as an excuse, which was accepted because according to the Ukrainian Constitution (Articles 198 and 839), parliamentary and presidential elections should be held after the cancellation of martial law. No elections – No problem! Critics, however, are quick to point out that he and parliament (conveniently run by his party) opportunistically extended martial law to extend his party's grip on power. Zelensky has been under mounting pressure also from the West to at least pay lip service to democracy by holding elections. A number of EU politicians as well as US senators have made such arguments to Kyiv but to no avail. Zelensky’s aides were also suggesting[+] an election might be possible, with the speaker of the Ukrainian parliament suggesting that the laws could be amended because “democracy cannot stop.” Unless, of course, it inconveniences the current leadership😊.
The proof that Zelensky is a dictator and Ukraine a dictatorship rather than democracy is the fact that no presidential elections were planned even for the next year but victory was planned – as People's Deputy of Ukraine Zheleznyak said[+], “The draft of the 2025 state budget has nothing included regarding the possible holding of elections.” Guess democracy’s not in the fiscal plan; budgeting for democracy isn't a priority then😊.
Zelensky's backers argue that it is reasonable to suspend elections during wartime like the UK under Churchill did during World War II because the war created an environment where holding elections is logistically difficult and potentially divisive at a time when national unity is critical. However, comparing[+] the UK case to Ukraine now is like comparing apples to very different oranges, as they differ significantly in context, legal mechanisms, and political dynamics. In the UK, it wasn’t an outright suspension of democracy but a pragmatic deferral, agreed upon by all major political parties in the coalition – the UK’s coalition diluted personal agency and the UK faced no external calls to hold elections at that time. While the justifications such as that an existential threat, occupied territory (about 20% of Ukraine), displaced millions (refugees and internally), and soldiers on the front lines make a fair election impractical, plus public support and “martial law” prove that Zelensky did not suspend elections “dictatorially”, he did abuse his power to take advantage of circumstances to cling to power like a dictator – he had the power to hold election during wartime, like many other wartime leaders who held elections, but he refused it despite many calls to prove Ukraine is indeed democracy. It seems he's more interested in holding onto power than holding an election. Zelensky’s unwillingness to hold elections stems from his legitimate fear that he would have lost miserably – according to all polls, his chances of winning are about as high as finding a unicorn serving lattes in Kyiv😊. He could be easily beaten by any other contender, including neo-Nazi Bandera fan[ꚛ][+][+][+]General Valerii Zaluzhnyi. And while measuring Zelensky to the UK, how Churchillian or democratic is it to sanction your critics?! Such as the former advisor to President, Oleksiy Arestovych[+], former President Petro Poroshenko[+], and 8.300[+] other Ukrainian citizens, despite the Constitution of Ukraine expressly prohibiting the use of sanctions against its own citizens! It seems "rules for thee, but not for me" is a guiding principle.

In this context of martial law as the pretext for not holding the elections, there are several other crucial reasons to argue against Zelensky being a democratic leader and Ukraine being an alleged democratic country:
❌ Zelensky did not declare war [against Russia]. He also did not announce any military operation. He simply introduced martial law. Is introducing martial law without declaring war legit? It is in Ukraine, where even breaking[+][+][+][+] the law is legit these days😊.
❌ If elections must be delayed due to martial law, constitutionally, this does not extend Zelensky's term as the president!!! They can extend the martial law but not the authority of a president whose mandate is up[»]. Martial law can stretch like yoga pants, but Ukraine’s Constitution says Zelensky’s presidency can’t – his term’s up, and the rule of law as well, apparently😊! The Ukrainian constitution forbids parliamentary elections during a period of emergency but it does not spell out any rules for canceling presidential elections and extending a president’s term. Article 83 of Ukrainian Constitution says that under martial law the powers of parliament may be extended but no word about extending president's power, which means it cannot be extended. In that case, according to article 111 of Ukrainian Constitution, presidential powers should be transferred to the parliament, thus the Speaker of the Parliament Stefanchuk should be an acting President until new President can be elected. There is also a precedent for it, as this is already what happened in 2014, when under the circumstances of a revolution the powers of the president were transferred to the head of parliament (Verkhovna Rada). But Zelensky’s like, “Nah, I’m keeping the crown.”😊 One of the authors (one of the members of the constitutional commission that drafted the charter) of the current Constitution, then-head of the Ukrainian presidential administration, Dmitry Tabachnik, said[+] that Zelensky cannot be considered the legitimate president of Ukraine after his term expired in May 2024. According to Article 103 of the Constitution and the explanation of the Constitutional Court, which clearly states that the terms of the president's powers are determined solely by the articles of the Constitution, he said that Zelensky is no longer the legitimate leader of Ukraine. Zelensky’s move to extend his own presidential term indefinitely seems to be in breach of Article 109 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code, which says that this should be treated as seizure of power.
One might ask why Zelensky had not requested that the Ukrainian Constitutional Court issues clarifications on the matter. Maybe he’s allergic to legal clarity😊? No, he is allergic to the Constitutional Court, thus he attempted to terminate all judges and suspended its Chairman (and possibly got him poisoned[+]). The Constitutional Court of Ukraine[+] has the authority to assess whether legislative acts of the Parliament, President, and Cabinet are in line with the Constitution of Ukraine[+]. This court also gives commentaries to certain norms of the constitution or laws of Ukraine (superior acts of Parliament). This court should have made a ruling whether Zelensky is legitimate or not but they did not do it because Zelensky sabotaged the work of that court so that it could not make a ruling against him staying in power. The court should’ve ruled on Zelensky’s legitimacy, but he kneecapped it like a mob boss silencing a witness. By his decree of 29 December 2020, No. 607/2020 'On the dismissal of a judge of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine', from the moment of its adoption," Zelensky completely unconstitutionally recalled the chairman of the Constitutional Court, Oleksandr Tupytsky in March 2021. He had no right to do this. He has no such powers. Zelensky's got no legal juice to sack judges, but he's more of a "my way or the highway" kind of guy😊. Zelensky violated Ukraine’s Constitution, which states that Constitutional Court judges can only be fired by a vote of two-thirds of their colleagues and not by the President, which was aimed to ensure the Court’s independence. Of course, the Constitutional Court declared this presidential decree illegal and rejected it, which created a conflict between the court and the president. That is why Zelensky did not request the Constitutional Court to interpret the provisions of the Constitution and allow him to extend his powers. Zelensky’s repeated attempts to sack Tupytsky proved futile (because under Constitution, he has no power to fire judges) until the latter’s tenure expired on May 15, 2022. Since then no other Chairman was appointed to the post, which remains vacant and Tupytsky was forced to flee the country. As of 26 February 2025, he is still listed[+][+] as the Chairman but the Wikipedia says that this post is vacant[+][+] and that he left office in May 2022[+]. The question is why the Constitutional Court of Ukraine has no Chairman since May 2022?! Several more judges resigned in 2022, leaving the court with only thirteen and now only eleven[+] out of eighteen members – the number of judges now barely suffices to carry out normal court duties and elect the court’s chairperson. As such, and without a Chairman, conveniently for Zelensky, it cannot proclaim him as illegitimate. Coincidently or not, on 15 May 2023, the Chairman of the Supreme Court Vsevolod Kniaziev was detained while allegedly receiving a bribe and put behind bars (charged[+] for alleged corruption) and then replaced by Stanislav Kravchenko. Clearly, there is something fishy going on in the High Courts of Ukraine. Ukraine’s courts are fishier than a seafood market on a hot day😊.
❌ Judge Oleksandr Mykolayovych Tupytskyi[+], the last Head of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine (2019 to May 2022), proved in the High court of Ukraine that Zelensky exceeded his powers in order to usurp power. After that, the Judge was poisoned in Vienna and at the same time media campaign began against him in Ukraine, as reported[+] by one of the most popular Ukrainian journalists, once Journalist of the Year in Ukraine and Ukraine’s top 10 most influential women but now persecuted and in exile, Diana Panchenko[+][»].
❌ After pressure from the US to hold the election, Zelensky invalidated his excuse for canceling the elections by saying it is indeed possible but only if other countries pay for it. In other words, it would be not against the law to hold the election as long as the West gives him more money – he demanded 5 billion[»]. It was then time for the West to prove how much they really cared for democracy, whether they were willing to fund the Ukrainian election as much as they are willing to fund the Ukrainian military. The West’s quick to bankroll bombs but ghosted Zelensky’s election bill – guess war’s sexier than voting😊. Since they did not pay for the elections, it became evident that war has more value to NATO countries than democracy! NATO’s like, “Elections? Meh. Tanks? Now we’re talking!”😊
❌ Zelensky claimed that he would not hold elections (both parliamentary and presidential) because he needs all the money for the military, which is exposed as a lame excuse to stay in power by the fact that he allocates huge funds for purposes unrelated to the war all the time[+]. For instance, in August 2023, he replaced the Soviet symbols on the shield of the Motherland monument with the Ukrainian coat of arms[+][ꚛ]. The project costed over 756.000 dollars. At a time when there is no money in the budget to pay pensions and salaries to the military, as well as for elections, Kyiv was spending Western taxpayers' money for ideological purposes. Well, if Kyiv can afford a monument facelift, they can afford a ballot box or two😊.
❌ The West was pressuring Ukraine to hold the election, which is also telling how inappropriate was to cancel the election. ”Holding presidential and parliamentary elections in Ukraine, insisted on by Western partners, could lead to destabilization of the internal situation in the country” - the then-Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council OleksiyDanilov.
❌ Zelensky’s status in the eyes of the Russian government is based on Ukrainian constitution and therefore, he is considered an illegitimate president, “theringleader of the Kiev regime” – like he’s running a circus, not a country😊. Putin suggested[+] that Ukraine’s Western backers were keeping Zelensky Zelensky in power as long as he is willing to lower the military draft eligibility age evermore to 18. This is needed to make up for the shortage of manpower[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+]and to fight “to the last Ukrainian” for the Western interests. So, to please his masters for not holding elections and keeping him in power, in early-April 2024, he first lowered[+] the age from 27 to 25 just as the US emissary Graham requested[+] when he came to Kyiv just days before.
❌ Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE) head ‘Tiny’ Kox objected to it pointing out: “Although democracy is far more than only elections, I think we all agree that without the elections, democracy cannot properly function.”
❌ There was a war there already since April 2014[+][»], so why didn't they declare martial law then? Why could they hold presidential elections in May 2014[+] and in March 2019[+] during wartime then and not now? At both times all pro-Russian candidates were prevented from campaigning and running for office (due to a major anti-Russian sentiment flared by the West during Euromaidan protests and Maidan Revolution in 2013-2014, new US-puppet anti-Russian regime, and the consequent Crimea's secession followed by annexation by Russia), which means that the elections were not democratic, free, or fair. Martial law was first declared in half of Ukraine by then-President Poroshenko in November 2018 for 30 days (from 26 November to 26 December 2018)[+]. The presidential election was held 3 months later – he lost and Zelensky won. Critics associated the timing with Poroshenko's pre-election political ambitions since his ratings fell very low[+]. History repeats itself, just with another President trying to use martial law to remain in power. It's almost like a political Groundhog Day😊.
❌ To cling to power, it would be in the interest of Zelensky and his party (which has a majority in parliament) to keep the conflict with Russia going indefinitely so as to prolong martial law and so prevent elections. According to the Ukrainian political scientist Oleh Soskin[+], Zelensky illegally extends martial law in the country, due to which any elections in Ukraine, including presidential ones, are postponed, and thus he allows himself to remain in power indefinitely and continues to impose his dictatorship. “Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky faces civil war if he continues to illegally hold power in the country…” – Oleh Soskin, the advisor to the former president of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma (on YouTube[»]). Earlier, Soskin said that the decision announced on 26 July to extend martial law shows Zelensky's fear of losing the election. When fear of losing is stronger than adherence to constitution, you know you're in for a ride😊.
❌ Syrian President Bashar al-Assad allowed elections in 2021[+] during the long war in Syria[+] (headed by some NATO states) and NATO states accused him of being an autocrat nonetheless but Zelensky who prevents elections by extending the state of emergency is deemed a “beacon of democracy” by Western leaders – what does that say about them and their definition of democracy?! Guess their dictionary’s missing a page😊.
❌ The US has fought countless wars but never missed a single election. Even during its civil war when 600.000 Americans died. However, they still want us to believe that Ukraine is defending democracy and to support the country and its President who banned the opposition and sought to evade elections.
❌ Unlike Zelensky, Putin has not used martial law (in October 2022, he declared[»] martial law in all the regions[+] of former Ukraine that Russia annexed, just like Ukraine already declared it there and everywhere in February 2022) nor used any other cheeky means to avoid the 2024 presidential election[+], which proves that Putin is much more of a democratic leader than Zelensky. Also, Putin[+] had no fear of losing the election like Zelensky has – otherwise, he would hold the election. Russia's parliamentary elections are scheduled for September 2026. In an effort to dismiss the claims that Putin is more of a democratic leader than Zelensky, Zelensky backers attempted to invalidate the election results without providing any evidence to back up their allegations and instead by making jokes like: Vladimir Putin was just re-elected. He won 134% of the vote😊. They claim[+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][+][»][+] Putin’s dying of every disease known to man, has clones, and is so hated that he is about to be killed[+][+][+] or deposed[+]any day now, surrounded only by foes, is completely drugged out, yet still somehow manages to rig elections in the world’s biggest country all at the same time – sure, and he probably moonlights as a DJ too😊. Say what you want but, if we go by all the “Putin did it” stories[+], too, Putin is quite the multitasking master.
congrats to Putin for beating cancer he never had, diagnosed by sources that never existed. Turns out the only thing dying was @DailyMail credibility😊
We wish Zelensky were a bit more precise about what he meant by “eventually” because from our perspective, Putin turns out to be the Bond hero in the sequel titled “Eventually Never Dies”😊
❌ “Who questions Zelensky’s legitimacy is an enemy of the state!” – Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, Ruslan Stefanchuk, said[»] after Zelensky's legal mandate expired in May 2024. You’ve got to love the open democratic discussion in Ukraine! It's practically a masterclass in silencing dissent😊.
❌ Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Nikolay Azarov said[+][+] that Zelensky has lost his legitimacy and the West cannot rewrite the Ukrainian Constitution by holding summits and creating excuses for his brazen power grab. The emperor is naked and no amount of summitry can tailor an outfit for him😊. Whatever the emperor's new clothes may be, the world can see through the chicanery.
❌ In February 2025, almost a year after Zelensky's term expired, Ukrainian Parliament declared Zelensky as the legitimate president of Ukraine but the members of Ukrainian broke the law by going against Constitution, which says that only the Ukrainian people and not only the members of parliament can chose who will be the president of Ukraine.However, the parliamentarians (consisting mainly of Zelensky party that has majority in parliament) took it upon themselves to decide whether Zelensky may stay or not as president. But this is not their sphere of responsibility; they have no legal power to decide who can be president or not! Their job is to make laws and not to make judgements like that – it is only the Constitutional Court that can judge that. The Constitutional Court is the highest power[+] in Ukraine’s government. No one in Ukraine holds more power than the judges of the Constitutional Court. The parliament, president or even law enforcement agencies have no oversight over the court’s judges. The court’s powers are enshrined in the constitution. Changing the constitution requires the consent of the Constitutional Court. But it is paralyzed and in crisis[+] because Zelensky’s clash with it, the Chairman is removed from his post in May 2022, fled the country and can't be replaced by anyone. The Court’s a mess now – like a ship without a captain😊.
➡ citing “credible intelligence”, the Federal Intelligence Service of Switzerland said[+] that Zelensky was “showing authoritarian traits”. Swiss intel’s like, “Zelensky’s got authoritarian vibes thicker than a fondue pot.”😊 The FIS accused Zelensky of attempting to “politically eliminate” Kyiv mayor Vitaly Klitschko ahead of next year’s presidential election.
➡ In December 2023[+] and January 2024[+], Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko, the former heavyweight boxing champion, threw a punch at Ukrainian President Zelensky by claiming the country is sliding into authoritarianism and criticized Zelensky’s policies as not democratic but having the “smell of authoritarianism,” singling out the “monopoly on information” as being bad for Ukrainian society. Klitschko told the Western media outlets that many Ukrainians don’t understand the situation on the battlefield, as the state media only talks about successes and ignores setbacks
➡ In January 2023, Zelensky announced[+] his revocation of the citizenship of four Ukrainian lawmakers suspected of treason, including three from a banned pro-Russian party, and signaled more bans were still to come. In what country does one man has the right to denounce citizenship to opposition politicians? Is this democracy or autocracy? Nothing says "democratic process" like stripping citizenship from political opponents😊. These former Ukrainian members of parliament were forced to flee their country due to threats from Zelensky regime. One, Medvedchuk[+][ꚛ], was jailed but got free through a prisoner swap and fled to Russia.
➡ The Cato Institute, an American libertarian think tank, urged[+] the Biden administration in April 2022 to stop calling the Ukraine-Russia standoff a fight between democracy and authoritarianism, stressing that Ukraine is "at best… a corrupt, quasi‐democratic entity with troubling repressive policies", with the neo‐Nazi Azov Battalion being an integral part of the state's military and security apparatus.
➡ American politician and candidate for governor of Kentucky Geoffrey M. Young[+]: “There are still millions of Americans who believe we're defending freedom & democracy in Ukraine. We're not. We're defending the worst nazi government in the world. In fact, the US & NATO totally control the nazi "government" of Ukraine.”
➡ On the Senate floor, US Senator Rand Paul (R-KY) warned[»] about Ukraine being an autocracy listing much evidence.
➡ The Democratic Erosion Consortium published an article posted by University of Chicago on 5 February 2022: Autocratic Behavioral Warning Signs During Zelensky’s Presidential Rule in Ukraine[+]
➡ According to Zelensky’s horoscope and natal chart[+], he has a natural tendency to be domineering and authoritarian due to his Moon in Leo and in House 3, he seeks other people's attention and approval. His horoscope sign is Aquarius. According to numerology[+], Zelensky's Life Path is influenced by the number 6, which means that his thirst for balance prompts him to adopt inflexible, even tyrannical attitudes, which is the other side of the coin for his constant concern for equity and justice which is sometimes disappointed by the blunt reality. So, it's written in the stars: Zelensky is dictator. Nothing he can do about it😊!
Apart from evidence, also countless testimonials from Ukrainians clearly tell us that Ukraine is not a democracy, like this one[»] on French TV in 2022 in which a Ukrainian woman from Kyiv kept telling that to the prominent guests in the TV studio but they could not believe and could not even hear her or let her speak. They were so brainwashed about alleged Ukrainian democracy that they disputed the native as if they knew better than she did, taking just one argument of persecution of journalists as insufficient proof of failing democracy in Ukraine, not hearing and wanting to hear all the other evidence. Such testimonials are innumerable but many prejudiced people just do not want to hear them or have a look at all the evidence. Ukrainians’ cries about autocracy are piling up, but some folks would rather plug their ears than face the facts.
Just like the lawbreaker[+], plagiarist[+] gynecologist-turned-president of the EU Ursula von der Leyen[+] (nickname: von der Lying[+][+][+], a member of the board of trustees[+] of WEF), who had the nerve to declare[»] that “the war in Ukraine is about autocracy against democracy” although she herself was never democratically elected to become a President!
Joe Biden tweeted[+]: “We are engaged anew in a great battle for freedom. A battle between democracy and autocracy. Between liberty and repression.”
“The American people understand that defending democracy and liberty is never without cost,” President Biden said, regarding the US’ role in protecting Ukraine.
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson, too, claimed[+] that “It is about Ukrainian democracy against Putin’s tyranny. It is about freedom versus oppression”.
Countless other NATO countries' authorities are following that script, including US House Speaker 'Nancy the Ripper' Pelosi[+], dilettante Germany’s Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock[+], etc. They contend that the war in Ukraine is part of a broader battle for democracy and against autocratic and illiberal values. They’re selling Ukraine’s war as a democracy crusade, but it’s more like a propaganda pageant😊.
Statements from Western politicians, as well as pervasive reports in the mainstream media, have created an extremely misleading image of Ukraine (and Russia). There has been a concerted effort to portray the country not only as a victim of brutal Russian aggression but as a brave and noble bulwark of freedom and democracy. The promoters of that narrative contend that the ongoing war is not just a quarrel between Russia and Ukraine over Kyiv’s ambitions to join NATO and their territorial dispute. The established narrative would have us believe that Ukraine is a flawless Eastern European antithesis to Putin's regime – a real, democratic fairytale, complete with a valiant prince and not a single corrupt oligarch hiding under the royal carpet😊. The reality, however, features more political wolves in sheep's clothing than valiant knights in shining armor, with no 'happily ever after' ending.
When it comes to the democracy against autocracy narrative, it must be said that this claim cannot be further from the truth because there is no democracy in Ukraine, which is verified by renowned Western sources[+][+][+][+][+][+]that show that Ukraine is an autocracy, not a democracy, but NATO leaders are selling Ukraine as a democracy and Ukrainians as fighting for democracy, which is to say, they are deliberately deceiving their employee, the public. According to leading analysts of global democracy, Ukraine’s government does not measure up as a democracy. Some people are selling democracy like a used car – "Slightly dinged, but it runs!"😊
The Economist Intelligence Unit, in its 2021 Democracy Index[+], assessing nations' democratic status by measuring electoral process, pluralism, political culture political participation, government functioning, and civil liberties, doesn’t consider Ukraine as a democracy. That same report ranked the US as a "flawed democracy."
Similarly, the nonpartisan think tank Freedom House gave Ukraine a democracy percentage of 39.2 percent in its 2021 Nations in Transit report[+].
In other words, as an autocracy or flawed democracy even before the Russians rolled their troops into Ukraine, Ukraine is certainly not suitable to defend democracy or fight for Europe's democracy. It's like asking a fish to climb a tree to save the forest😊. It is all just propaganda to gain support from democratic countries.
All things considered, Ukraine and the West10 need to leave behind this narrative, just as renowned experts are pleading[+][+][+][+][+][+]. Time to drop the “democracy” act and face the music😊.
Ukraine is a certified electoral autocracy[+] (a.k.a. hybrid regime[+][+]) – the Ukrainian government is the US-puppet regime that was installed by false campaign promises11[»][+][»] as well as manipulating both the election process and the minds of voters. We provide the evidence[*] on how the US undemocratically enacted a regime change in 2014 and we give more evidence12 about the undemocratic electoral fraud in Ukraine's 2014 presidential election as well as evidence13 for how could a 41-year-young guy (Zelensky), who was nothing but a self-admitted[»][»][+] “proud clown”[»][»][»][»] just months before being elected in 2019 and had no training or experience in politics, diplomacy, or leadership whatsoever, possibly be elected as President and what's more with incredible 73% of the vote[+]! Just take a step back for a minute to think about how on Earth something like that could ever be possible. That’s like a joker suddenly becoming a king – happens all the time😊. It's a plot twist straight out of a political satire.
Like Trump, who was the US President at that time, too, and a former reality show champion, Zelensky rode his sitcom fame to the presidency despite having absolutely no competence or qualifications for running the lowest let alone the highest office. He was an outsider who would clean up Kyiv, or so the story went. He sold himself as Kyiv’s janitor, ready to sweep out corruption😊. And why not? His TV show was a hit, so he named his party after it – branding 101. Because if it works for a reality TV show, why not a political party? It's not like there's a difference, right?😊
Not only there was a Hollywood-style four-year-long presidential campaign in the form of a comedy series (‘The Servant of the People’[+] with Zelensky acting as a President and successfully solving all Ukrainian problems) and presented like a reality show[»] combined with mass mind-controlling psyop along with false campaign promises[»][+][»] at play but there was alleged electoral fraud and major opposition leaders were prevented to run for office. What is more, many people voted for Zelensky as a vote against then-President Poroshenko who was much hated, so most people would vote for anyone only not to let Poroshenko remain as president[+]. People didn’t vote for Zelensky – they voted to throw Poroshenko out of office.
In other words, by voting for newcomer Zelensky and his newly-formed party, most people did not vote for him but against the government that was installed by the Maidan revolution – Zelensky was not part of it and so he got all the anti-Maidan votes[+]. He played the populist card, promising to smash the system like a reality show rebel😊. So, he won thanks to a strong anti-establishment sentiment and on the promise to break the system, just like a fictional president whom he played in his TV comedy show. He rode anti-establishment vibes and sitcom dreams to victory – like a TV hero come to life😊.
Zelensky even named his political party after that sitcom – "The Servant of the People" Party, which certainly can be renamed "Servant of the USA". And he himself admitted[»], Ukrainians did not vote for a guy called Zelensky but for a fiction character Vasiliy Goloborodko, whom Zelensky played in that sitcom. He fooled them right. It's like they voted for Captain America to run and save the country, only to realize he's actually just an actor pretending to be something he is not😊.
For a comedian whose most salient pitch to voters was not being Poroshenko, Zelensky has done absolutely nothing different than his opponent. As a matter of fact, he intensified all Poroshenko's policies.
a scene from a sitcom in which Zelensky played a common guy who suddenly became president of the country. Here’s how he dreamt of dealing with problems. The problem is, he never get out of character from that role he enjoyed playing, a problem many actors face who get stuck in a character (have difficulty shaking off a role that they enjoyed playing), which encroaches on other facets of their life, disrupting the actor's psyche.
Understandably, people voted for him just to get rid of Poroshenko and the likes of him (other presidential candidates) but it is curious why Ukraine has no one else worthy enough to be a hero or a role model, which is why they deem people like victims of sniper attacks and a convicted criminal, Nazi collaborator, loser Stepan Bandera14[+][+], as “national heroes”. Why’s Ukraine scraping the barrel for heroes? Can it be because there are none among the living, or because no one is allowed to outshine Zelensky?
There were also other presidential candidates but Zelensky was a perfect candidate to play the role of the US puppet because he had three main assets – Jewish heritage, liberal globalist mindset, and acting skills (preferable for US puppets), and he was not loathed like other corrupt politicians. Actors make great puppets – they already know how to read a script😊. So, the US made sure that this showman won the presidency by all means. Another reason why American neocon globalists backed Zelensky to become the President may be the fact that he is alleged participant[+][+][+][+][+][+][+] of the Young Global Leaders program[+][+] of the World Economic Forum (WEF) – a five-year program of indoctrination into WEFs principles and goals to parrot their globalist gospel, which is affirmed with him sharing their worldview and being with his insignificant wife[+] their keynote speaker[»][+]. The one thing the globalists fear is a populist uprising, which is why, like a wolf in sheep's clothing, they “dress” their chosen guys, like Zelensky, as populists to let them lead their “sheep” into submission rather than revolt. It may be too late to do anything about it when the populace realizes that they voted for a different kind of populist[+]. By the time voters realize Zelensky’s a globalist in populist drag, half of the country will be lost to Russia.
Zelensky was convincing in his role as a liberal democrat populist President in the TV series The Servant of the People[+][»]: a common man fighting against corruption and discrimination against Russians. This was broadcast on the TV channel owned by Ukrainian the Jewish oligarch Ihor Kolomoisky, who was later the main sponsor of Zelensky’s presidential campaign as well as of neo-Nazi paramilitaries. Zelensky’s campaign got bankrolled by the same guy funding neo-Nazi squads – talk about them being in the same camp. Four years of acting as a fictional president surely helped Zelensky with his fast transformation into his role as a real president. Faked it till he made it😊. Kolomoisky[+] and Americans helped him blur the line between fiction and reality, or to forget to break character, like a method actor.
The US (or NATO) was keen to get a Jew to become the President of Ukraine to convince the public that all the talk about neo-Nazis in Ukraine is nothing but Russian propaganda. Since the Western intelligence officers knew very well about this issue of Ukraine being the world's biggest hub for neo-Nazis and that the West has been funding these neo-Nazis since 2013 or earlier (to stage anti-government protests and revolution, and then to kill Russians first in Donbas then elsewhere), NATO heads knew very well that Russia would use it against Ukraine and NATO in their informational warfare. Therefore, to counter it, Western leaders came up with a perfect plan to help a Jew win the presidential election. Like casting a vegan to run a butcher shop so as to claim there are no butchers there, the West installed15 a Jewish President mainly16 for that reason – to use it as an argument against all allegations about the rampant neo-Nazi movement in Ukraine and to discredit Russian denazification efforts. Zelensky’s Jewish heritage was NATO’s PR shield to dodge Russia’s “neo-Nazi” accusations. It's a geopolitical magic trick, designed to make inconvenient truths disappear faster than a politician's integrity. How else a comedian with zero qualifications (no education and experience in politics, diplomacy, or leadership) could become a president?
The Washington Post wrote:[+] “actor and comedian Volodymyr Zelensky’s top credential when he was elected in 2019 was that he’d played a president on TV”.
Then there are reports[+][+][+][+] including from the Daily Beast and the Nation[+] in 2019 revealing that Zelensky's sponsor's neo-Nazi militants – Biletsky’s17 National Druzhina (engl. Squad, the street wing of the Azov movement) monitored the polls in the 2019 presidential election, intimidating the voters and in a position to rig the election on the polling stations staffed by their fighters[+]. Like their sponsor Kolomoisky, they were against[+] the current President Poroshenko who was Zelensky's rival in the election. Since 2014, Jewish oligarch Kolomoisky has been funding and funding not just comedian Zelensky but also Ukraine's notorious neo-Nazi and ultra-nationalist battalions, including Azov, Aidar, Donbas, Dnepr 1, and Dnepr 2, according to Newsweek[+]. As the Daily Beast[+] and the Guardian[+] reported, Biletsky’s National Druzhina (consisting of former members of neo-Nazi organizations) were storming a municipal council intimidating and threatening lawmakers as well as civilians so as to “restore order” according to their fascist “justice”. Just a look at them marching through streets like this[»] is reminiscent of Hitler's Germany. Their street marches scream Third Reich cosplay – chilling, not thrilling.
American psyop methods[+][+] (CIA’s influence on public opinion[+] and the US military perception management program[+] to induce or reinforce attitudes and behaviors) that we mentioned earlier were used, of course, but what is staggering is the extent to which these methods are effective. Understandably, it is possible to influence the public to vote for a long-time opposition leader with a fair amount of experience in politics but not for absolute beginners with no qualifications whatsoever. American psyops worked overtime, convincing 73% of Ukrainians to vote for a self-proclaimed[»][»][+] clown[»][»][»] as a president and also for a boxer as a mayor of the nation's capital (not known for their intelligence, diplomacy, leadership, or economy expertise needed for the job) with no previous experience or education in politics, which is absolutely staggering. When a clown becomes a king, and a boxer becomes the capital’s mayor, and both are Jews who previously made their living by entertaining others, you have to wonder if it's a testament to American ingenuity or Ukrainian stupidity (Zelensky’s former adviser and spokesperson Oleksiy Arestovych, dubbed as “nation’s psychotherapist” was suggesting[+][»] the latter – ouch).
It seems, Ukrainian folk, like fools, fell for false campaign promises[»][+][»] (with Americans helping Zelensky figure out what the voters want and then blatantly promise them, without meaning to do it), American mind control psyop methods, and hope that he, as one of them, would be better than Poroshenko and all other corrupt politicians who disappointed them.
Zelensky was elected to end the war but he made a “U-Turn” and rather escalated it, breaking his promises[»][+]. When he ran for president in 2019, Zelensky promised to stop the corruption and war in Donbas[+][+][+], as well as to reconcile the country (pro-West and pro-Russian populace) but he spat in the face of his voters who wanted peace by doing the opposite with escalating the conflict into a full-scale war with Russia, and he never stopped corruption either (quite the opposite[+][+][+][+][+][+]).
Zelensky was reportedly[+] failing in Ukraine, which reflected in his ratings dropping very soon after being elected – his approval rate was extremely low in 2020 and 2021, with a large majority of people disapproving of his actions – just 12% people liked him and another 26% somewhat approved his actions, according to Statista[+].
With most Ukrainians giving him a thumbs-down, American spin doctors had to do something about Zelensky's “flop at the box office”😊. So, in 2022, his ratings soared back thanks to NATO propaganda that made him into a hero who supposedly[+][+][+]didnot want a ride out of the country but ammunition. He never said that and did nothing special other than begged for support and aid. Apparently, all it takes is just really good PR to become the darling of the West😊.
Forbes wrote[+] in 2021, “Life has become art. But for many Ukraine watchers and foreign investors – they want their money back. This Servant of the People real-life movie version is not like the TV series. This is a flop.”
“I am a clown, and I am very proud of it!” – Zelensky[»][»][+]
Elect a clown. Expect a circus.
“When a Clown moves into a Palace, he doesn't become a King. The Palace instead becomes a Circus.” – Turkish proverb
“Don't blame a clown for acting like a clown. Ask yourself why you keep going to the circus.”
“Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit? – Jesus, Bible, Luke 6:39[+]
Every man and woman should know their place. It is not clown’s place to run a country. You can take a clown out of the circus but not the circus out of the clown. A man's ambition should not exceed his worth; Zelensky's not about changing the Ukraine; he's about changing your perception of Ukraine. Zelensky’s not fixing Ukraine – he’s just rewriting the script to make you think he is. As a former clown and a showbiz guy who had no prior experience in politics, diplomacy, or leadership, it's silly to take him seriously.
When asked in Quora[+] about Zelensky, Ukrainians described him as extremely disrespectful towards everyone[+], immature and incompetent[+], unrealistic and corrupt[+], traitor[+], just an average TV showman[+], he was hated by the biggest part of the population for his lies[+]. But when Russia launched its SMO and the West stood with Ukraine, Zelensky's ratings soared because naïve Ukrainians believed that it was all his doing, obviously not aware that this was NATO's proxy war[*][+] against Russia using Zelensky as pawn and Ukrainians as mere cannon fodder. Although it took a while, with time, more and more Ukrainians are finding out about that as well as Zelensky's corruption[+], how he is pocketing[+][+] and embezzling[+][+][+][+] foreign aid instead of using it as intended. The only thing soaring faster than his ratings was the amount of foreign aid allegedly disappearing into private pockets😊.
“You can’t say it enough, Ukraine is not a democracy. … In American terms, you would call Ukraine a tyranny… So, having banned all opposition[+], he then seized control of the country's media outlets. Zelensky signed a decree that combines all national television channels into a single platform that he controls.”
– Fox News host Tucker Carlson, on his show, 22 February 2023.
Ukraine's democracy is a travesty – the mere fact that (under the US and EU patronage) for many years even before the war, Ukraine has been the most corrupt[+]and the poorest country in Europe[+][+] that issued laws against ethnic minorities[+], it could indicate to intelligent people that there is something wrong with that country and its government that has no democracy[+]. But if democracy is where they are screwing over the minorities in the name of the simple majority, then this is Ukraine.
“As President, I’ll refuse to be bullied by an anti-democratic comedian-turned-leader & it’s truly mystifying to me that the rest of the West is eating out of this Pied Piper’s hand every day.”[+] – US Republican presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy
The West was following this charlatan like he’s got free candy until they realized the “emperor is naked” and candies are not free at all😊.
Moreover, evidence for the Kyiv regime being authoritarian is in all the laws and legislations enacting an absolute monopoly on power, extrajudicial reprisals, strict censorship[+][+], the virtual elimination of independent media outlets[+][+], persecution[+][+][+] of journalists, clergy[+], and all of who oppose the Kyiv regime narrative, as well as the eradication of the political opposition[+][+]. The shift into autocracy begins with a leader’s decision to repress their opposition. Autocracy 101: Step one, squash the opposition – Zelensky’s acing the course😊. The current regime, adopting the ideology and practices of Ukrainian national radicals, has essentially morphed into a neo-Nazi or fascist dictatorship[*]. This is the regime that the EU and the US are supporting and providing with weapons to kill anyone, including civilians, and to conduct terrorist attacks in Russia.
All that Putin was condemned for doing by the West, we saw Zelensky do to the nth degree in a manner of a totalitarian regime – exceedingly prosecuting opposition, journalists, activists, and protesters. Every single thing that Putin was accused of, Zelensky does it all the time at a much higher volume – shutting down all independent media, banning opposition parties[+][+], banning the Orthodox church, kidnapping[»][»][»][»][»][ꚛ][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»][»] hundreds of thousands of civilians to force them to fight for him, torturing citizens to death for contradicting the Kyiv narrative, persecuting the bloggers for posting videos of real events[+] (as opposed to Kyiv's narrative), no freedom of speech[»], corruption[+][+] in overdrive with evidence of Zelensky being corrupt[+][+][+][+] and surrounding himself with corrupt people[+][+][+] as well as not carrying out his pledge to fight corruption[+], etc. – and still, NATO states support Zelensky regime giving him weapons and billions of money. Zelensky’s out-Putining Putin, yet NATO’s like, “Here’s more cash and rockets!”😊What does that say about the US, UK, and EU? Perhaps they're just really, really bad at picking favorites in a reality show😊.
NATO officials’ claim that the war was triggered by Russia breaking into the “Garden of Eden” of Western democracy is a misrepresentation invoking a global struggle for “democracy” against “authoritarianism”[+]. The framing of the war in the West as a battle between democracy and authoritarianism or even tyranny[+] or dictatorship[+][+] is just a trickery to raise the stakes of the war and to generate political, financial, military, and moral support for Ukraine from people in the West. This slick marketing trick to get cash, guns, and cheers for Ukraine only ruined the country. The whole terminology of “defending democracy” is into yoga, being stretched extremely wide and applied to any policy in some manner related to Western nations defending their own interests.
However, such a depiction of this war as democracy vs authoritarianism is highly counter-productive and beneficial to Russia because it alienated non-democracies and prevented them from solidarizing with Ukraine and its democratic allies. Autocracies such as China, Saudi Arabia, India, and Iran, for instance, are surely not going to support the alleged democracy of Ukraine for that matter[+]. The thing is, only about half of the world’s countries are now democracies (democracy started to spread only after WWII). But when it comes to the number of people, 71% of the world's population do not live in democratic countries[+], mostly in Asia and Africa. So, they are surely reluctant to support such a cause of alleged saving democracy.
Both Russia and Ukraine are considered electoral autocracies[+] – the most prevalent type of political regime in the world with over 5,6 billion people living in such regimes.
Many European diplomats tiptoe around the “democracy vs. autocracy” talk, hesitant to frame it that way for the pragmatic reason of not confronting a bloc of countries that oppose democratic systems. While the democracy-autocracy divide is set to become more consequential, NATO officials are exposing the insincerity of their backing of the supposed Ukrainian fight for democracy as well as their double-dealing by seeking deeper cooperation with authoritarian regimes to help counter Russia. NATO’s preaching Ukraine’s “democracy” while cozying up to autocrats to fight Russia – talk about double dealing😊. If this war is supposed to be democracy-versus-autocracy how insane are NATO officials in soliciting autocratic governments to support an alleged democracy of Ukraine?! It’s like asking a vegan to sponsor a butcher shop😊.
The United States and some European states have been reaching out to Gulf states to replace Russian gas and softening their positions toward oil-exporting Venezuela. The United States used up considerable political capital trying to get the Gulf states to condemn Russia at the United Nations. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken traveled to the Middle East to press the region’s authoritarian states into action against Russia.
The reality is, Ukraine's regime is an electoral autocracy and Ukrainians are NOT fighting for freedom and democracy, especially not for Europe's – they’re stuck in Zelensky’s circus. No, Ukraine has not set out to protect Western civilization as it, in fact, ruined it trying to push its fascist agenda[*]. This will become more evident with more facts provided throughout this peace initiative. The “democracy” packaging is just a shiny wrapper to snag more cash, guns, and sympathy – classic propaganda bait😊.

Navalny never posed any threat to Putin as he was very unpopular in Russia – with his party, he had only around 2% liberal pro-West supporters who oppose Russian traditions and conservative values and as traitors team up with Russian enemies
radio stations[+] were not banned but as part of forced Ukrainization, since 2016, all radio stations, including those in Russian language, were forced to have 60% of programmes such as news and analysis and min. 35% songs in Ukrainian language
Since 2014 Maidan revolution, when a new US-propped anti-Russian regime came to power by force, 23 political parties have been banned in Ukraine, which clearly shows that there is no democracy there. In 2014-2015, Party of Regions and 3 communist parties[+] (the Communist Party of Ukraine, the Communist Party of Ukraine's Workers and Peasants, and the Reformed Communist Party of Ukraine) were effectively banned. Party of Regions[+] won the previous parliamentary election[+], so it was the most popular party at that time but the new Kyiv regime prevented it from running in new snap 2014 election by destroying it. The Communist Party (KPU) had been an important force in Ukrainian politics, polling 13 percent in the 2012 parliamentary elections[+]. Since March 2022, Zelensky regime banned 19 more political parties[+]!
Kyiv regime banned the use of Russian language in 30 spheres of public life – public administration, electoral process, referendums, courts, schools/education, science, theatres and other culture, media, economic and social life, health and care institutions, activities of political parties etc.; Ukrainian mandatory for civil servants, soldiers, doctors, and teachers – all of which is violation of human rights as well as the Article 12 of the Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership Treaty with Russia[?+ENpg.33].
The restrictive policies started since 2014 and culminated in 2019 with the language law that prohibits employees of restaurants, cafes, bars, shops, banks, hospitals and other similar institutions from talking to visitors in Russian language[+], the citizen can no longer contact or send letters to the officials and authorities of higher levels in Russian language; identity documents can no longer be issued in Russian language...
In a country in which 30%[+] of people – 14,3 million people declared Russian as their native language in the last national census; 8,3 million[+] of them identified as ethnic Russians, if your native language is Russian and you don’t speak Ukrainian, would you protest the regime that passes such laws? And if you protest it but you are called a “terrorist” because you protest it and government sends the National Guard packed with neo-Nazis to kill or terrorize you and all your family, friends, and neighbors, would you like to separate from that regime, or not?
Although 30%[+] of Ukrainians declared Russian as their native language in the last national census, even more or most of them – 50% of Ukrainian social media users posted in Russian language (46% in Ukrainian and 4% in English), as data collected[+] on Instagram showed in January 2022.
cronyism[+] is the spoiled system practice of partiality in awarding jobs and other advantages to friends or trusted colleagues, especially in politics and between politicians and supportive organizations — as opposed to awarding jobs based on merit or competence
Article 19 of the Law “On the Legal Regime of Martial Law”[+]: "In the conditions of martial law, the following are prohibited... conducting elections of the President of Ukraine"
Ukrainian Constitution (Article 83)[+]: "If the term of powers of the Verkhovna Rada expires while martial law is in effect, its powers shall be extended until the day of the first meeting of the first session of the Verkhovna Rada elected after the cancellation of martial law"
false campaign promises — Zelensky promised he would end corruption and war in Donbas, negotiate peace with Russia, as well as reconcile the country (pro-West and pro-Russian populace) but instead he did the opposite
the snap 2014 presidential election should have been invalidated by the UN for at least five main reasons:
1. Voter turnout was below the legal threshold, as according to Ukrainian law[+], a snap election must have a voter turnout higher than 50%, which was not the case – the total number of eligible voters was around 35.5 million but only around 18 million people cast a ballot, which was less than 50%. Mark Twain once famously said that there are three types of lies: “lies, damned lies, and statistics.” The Ukrainian authorities falsely and unlawfully presented voter turnout as 60% because they excluded the regions that were “not under government control” (Donbas and Crimea) although they claimed those regions as Ukraine. In the 2014 parliamentary elections, the official voter turnout (excluded some regions) was even lower, 52.42% – unlawfully deducting the eligible voters in areas where voting was not made possible. Calculating the turnout in such a manner was unlawful because no electoral regulation ratifies the exclusion of any region or eligible constituency under any circumstances! Government has a duty to ensure everyone the possibility to vote but the interim government of the time failed (and didn’t care) to do so for over 5,5 million eligible voters, who were discounted (certainly for the reason that they were sure to vote for pro-Russian candidates), which invalidates the legitimacy of those elections that should have been postponed until the possibility to vote was granted equally to everyone. Even by discounting millions of voters, the alleged turnout of 60% was much lower than the average voter turnout of 72% in previous presidential elections, so such a low turnout suggests some foul play in which many people obviously didn't want to participate – many people questioned the validity of the election. What is more, there is a dispute about what constitutes “not under government control” anyway because, at that time, there was no legitimate government, as the opposition undemocratically and unconstitutionally forced itself into the government position. Therefore, it could be argued that Donbas was indeed under democraticallyelected government control and all other regions were not. Furthermore, Ukraine continues to claim Crimea as an integral part of its territory but it has denied its people the possibility to vote in all elections – how can that be lawful? In summary, to our knowledge, regarding voter turnout count, no law allows disenfranchising or discounting or excluding any region or eligible constituency under any circumstances, therefore any such act is unlawful and so, by law, the voter turnout was then lower than 50%, which was below the legal threshold and therefore snap 2014 presidential election should have been invalidated. The US and EU were pleased with the election results because it suited their agenda, thus they and their allies quickly praised the election endorsing the vote. Draw your own conclusions about it.
2. Morally unacceptable electorate manipulations took place, such as administrative tricks to get more votes for a particular party, disenfranchisement, voter intimidation, disinformation, corruption, banning assault, harassment, and libel, as the election was restricted – it was not held everywhere in Ukraine – most ballot stations in regions with Russian ethnic minorities were not open for polling, as they legally should have been. Russian ethnic minority voters, that is, pro-Russian voters were hindered to vote. For instance, in the pro-Russian Donbas region, only 426 ballot stations were open for polling instead of all 2.430, disabling 80% of the Russophone Donbas population to cast a vote – this alone should have questioned the legitimacy of the elections.
3. Pro-Russian candidates were hindered to run for office – as opposed to all previous elections, there were no well-known pro-Russian candidates in the elections as the established Russian ethnic minority leaders were forced into exile or arrested on charges of leading a separatist movement (and after the elections cleared of charges in the absence of proof, which is telling of the political motive behind the arrestment). Ukraine's Pro-Russian candidate quit the presidential race[+]because it was too "dangerous" for him to continue his presidential campaign, as he was beaten by pro-Ukrainian activists in Kyiv. What kind of laws and constitution allows an ethnicity with millions of people to be unrepresented in the elections?
4. No equal chances for all parties – the pro-Russian Party of Regions was hindered to run presidential campaigns in many regions – it was the biggest party in Ukraine between 2006 and 2014. providing several Ukrainian Presidents and Prime Ministers but ahead of the 2014 elections, the party's symbol and activities were banned in many regions governed by ultra-nationalists, thus they were illegally prevented to campaign in those regions.
5. Corrupt election observation with biased international observers[+] – Ukraine only sent election monitoring invitations to the pro-EU monitoring organizations and not to the pro-Russian CIS Election Monitoring Organization. This was not only unfair but also intentional in order to cover up all the irregularities surrounding the elections. See also Election fraud in the 2014 Parliamentary Elections[+]
The Western community disregarded these issues of constitutionality and legitimacy of the 2014 election as well as its procedural irregularities because the results suited them, as a pro-EU government was then instituted.
It is most curious why and how Ukrainians elected no one better than Zelensky to be their president – a 41-year-young guy who was nothing but a vulgar[»] self-proclaimed[»][»][+] clown[»][»][»] just months before being elected in 2019. A guy who made his living by playing piano with his genitals[»][»][»], dancing shaking his bootie in high heels[»], and running naked in public spaces[»][ꚛ][+][ꚛ]. It makes us wonder how on Earth could Ukrainians choose a showman with no political and leadership education or experience to be their national and war leader and with a suspiciously high 73% of the vote[+].
Obviously, there is more than one reason but a majority voted for him because he was a Russian-speaking anti-war, pro-peace candidate, who promised to make peace with Russia. There was a war there since 2014 and most people wanted it to end, which he vowed to do but then went back on his word. How he convinced people is a psyop matter and most people voted for Zelensky only to vote against the then-President Poroshenko so as not to let him stay the president[+]. By voting for a newcomer most people did not vote for him but against the government of the Maidan revolution[+].
Stepan Bandera[+][+] was convicted murderer and an anti-Semite Nazi collaborator in WWII, responsible for the ethnic cleansing of ethnic minorities and the genocide of more than 100.000 of Poles, Soviets, and Jews whom now Ukraine hails as hero
West installed a Jewish President — US-led NATO countries governments indirectly (through NGOs and US-based Jewish Ukrainian oligarch Kolomoyskyi) backed, funded, and endorsed Zelensky's presidential campaign
other major reason to have a Jew in power was to easily get him to sell Ukraine to Jewish-owned American businesses such as BlackRock, JPMorgan Chace, etc. This plan also worked as Zelensky handed the Jews from BlackRock and JPMorgan Chase a $400 billion contract[+] to rebuild Ukraine; they own[+][+][+][+] Ukraine anyway as they have grabbed much more Ukrainian land and natural resources than Russia has, after Zelensky approved a Land Reform allowing foreigners to buy land in Ukraine. The American Jews seized Ukraine by means of manipulation and exploiting Ukrainian corruption with bribing or blackmailing corrupt Ukrainian leaders or by installing their puppets into leadership positions – how else do you think that dilettante Zelensky came to power (with the help of Jewish Ukrainian oligarch living in the US, Kolomoisky)?! American Jews bought[+][+] Ukraine at a discount price and in a destroy-rebuild scheme[+] will earn even more if Russia allows it.
American Jewish asset management firm BlackRock is the richest company in the world -it is one of the top shareholders in all major U.S. banks, including JPMorgan Chase, Citigroup, Bank of America, Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, and Wells Fargo. It is also a top shareholder of Walmart, General Electric, General Motors, Ford, AT&T, Verizon, Google, Apple, Exxon Mobil and Chevron. BlackRock’s other large holdings include Microsoft, Johnson & Johnson, Amazon, Facebook, Berkshire Hathaway, Gilead Sciences, Pfizer, Procter & Gamble, Merck, Intel, Coca-Cola, Walt Disney Company, Home Depot, Philip Morris, VISA, McDonald’s, Cisco Systems, PepsiCo, IBM, Oracle, Comcast, Lockheed Martin, MasterCard, Starbucks, Boeing and ConocoPhillips, along with thousands of other, smaller brands.
Biletsky was the founder of the notorious neo-Nazi Azov brigade in 2014 during NATO-funded and orchestrated Maidan revolution/coup that violently ousted democratically elected president Yanukovych and government
The conflict in Ukraine is not about Ukraine, Ukraine is merely a tool to destabilize and overstretch Russia. It's about the fact that the western economic system is an inverted pyramid with a very small base of actual physical commodities as collateral for a huge debt based equities market. Russia is the biggest energy, food, fertilizer and commodities producer it's easy to connect the dots.

Most people who understand geopolitics for the regional issues already understand that
