    He temporarily restricted 11 parties, which happen to be pro-Russian parties, while Russia is actively invading the country.

    That's not "banning democracy". That's spiking the fifth column during a time of war.

    Cool story, bro.

    There is a snowball's chance in hell anyone will leave now given Russia is going full steam ahead towards a shitshow.

    It's one thing if Russia acted in a competent way that would inspire would-be separatists in Odessa to action and it's a whole another thing when people see how fucked up and incompetent Russia is on top of being completely hamfisted as well.

    If anything, Russia's actions pretty much buried any hope for actual Russian support in Ukraine. They practically cut ties with both Ukraine and Russians living in Ukraine, because nobody wants to go back to 90s or 80s, aside from the dinosaurs that are slowly dying off.

    Have you ever heard about the second punic war? Wasn't a movie...

    England in WW2 also comes to mind.

    But cutting the agitprop - you would do well to listen to your own advice. Not that i think you're a Putin shill, but its kinda strange that you always want people to find facts an sources, but if you FEEL it was an ukrainian false flag - you run with it. Not sure if this is on purpose - but you're doing it.

    Yeah, oddly enough, Zelensky's win percentage was highest the further east you get. Almost as if those areas don't want to be part of Russia.

    And his main opposition in 2019? Poroshenko? Yeah, he's also still in Ukraine, fighting against the Russian invasion.

    Man, your bad takes can be REALLY bad sometimes.
    Its such a big surprise they didn't vote for the anti-Russian oligarch (richest billionaire in country) Poroshenko that for years fought Rusdians...
    Zelensky turns out to be even worse..

    No, this is 2nd time zelensky acts like this, i linked from a year ago when zelensky banned media, west had chance to tell him to quit behaving like a dictator, thus he now banned 11 political parties.

    No, it's not. Rest of the world shows support towards Ukraine and can easily recognize crude propaganda that desperately tries to justify invasion and war crimes caused by a guy who couldn't accept that Soviet Union is no more. You and your Russian friends are so alone, and will be increasingly more alone in the near future.

    That's a case of a traitor (as in someone being the representative of break-away provinces and praising their military) being arrested for alleged treason.

    That would happen in most countries - especially during war.

    No, banning 11 political parties means its a dictatorship.

    Since ur playing games, lets google the word dictatorship to see what we find:

    A dictatorship is a form of government characterized by a single leader (dictator) or group of leaders that hold government power promised to the people and little or no toleration for political pluralism or independent media.

    This is a funny picture i have seen a few times, probably you all got this from the same polit officer? - but this is a lie, there are only 6 countries that didnt condem russias invasion of Ukraine - so this is factually wrong.

    And ... Austria is a dictatorship because a party is banned? Am i getting this right?

    China, that to this day does not show support for Russian invasion? That started to report on Russian atrocities on Ukraine? Keep dreaming pal, while words of encouragement, humanitarian help and actual war equipment and volunteers are flowing from all around the world to "nazi, dictatorship Ukraine", while Russia cannon even enlist help from their Asian partners, or even Belarus. So weird that they are so alone in their godly work of cleansing Ukraine from evil and uniting them under one nation, one man®.
