Isn't that a big red flag (heh) that he's not actually in charge?
He is not a dictator but an elected official (who was not elected as a war leader and thus has a weak mandate). There is no conspiracy of hidden people pulling the strings, that is just how a parliamentary democracy works (as flawed as the Ukrainian one might be).
Zelensky banned all the opposition parties, he banned media, and prosecuted dissenters. Claiming that he's an elected official with a weak mandate is incredibly disingenuous.
You need to lay off the Russian propaganda, there are still plenty of fully legal opposition parties in Ukraine right now. What was banned was a tiny party with direct links and likely funding from Putin.
Didn't Zelensky ban the largest opposition party in Ukraine?
You're right, right wing parties haven't been banned in Ukraine, it's just the left wing ones. Funny how you always carry water for the nazis.
Well AFAIK Ukraine doesn't have any genocide camps.
so you say ukranians are genociding whom? and to what end? have any non hearsay sources on this?
Well they are shooting at civilians in Donbass since 8 years. And openly say that all "moscuvites" (Russians) need to be killed, inclusing children. Sounds very much like genocide to me.
