As Zelensky’s first elected term drew to a close
There HAS to be a more accurate description for that
Yes there is: “as Zelensky’s legal term expired and he became an illegitimate unelected dictator”.
“but he’s not a dictator, he’s fighting against russia! that’s also why he has no choice but to put ukraine under martial law”
really goes to show that for liberals, dictator = world leader against nato. also, zelenskyy wouldn’t need to put his country under martial law if he just accepted a ceasefire (which would benefit ukrainians more than continuing to fight russia to the last ukrainian)
Zelensky could also stop the Kyiv’s genocide against civilians in rebelling states in Dombas that provided the justification for Russian military intervention in the first place. Besides the self-infliction of the Russian military intervention, the martial law is also unjustifiable from the increasing evidence that Russian military is loyally obeying Putin’s order to protect an ethnic group in Ukraine from genocide. I gain my information mostly from Pax Americana fake news and Pax Americana bootlickers about the Ukraine-Russia war, but even the biased sources of information indicated that Putin is conducting real humanitarian intervention in Ukraine if the biased information is critically examined. One of the evidences is that defectors from Russian military had not existed contrary to the earlier Pax Americana reports. A second evidence is that the videos of “Russian” assault against civilians occured in Dombass that is under the control of “Russian”, or Ukrainians who seek separation from Kyiv. A third evidence is that the reports that Ukraine is the one that face economic collapse from the war contrary to the prophecy that Russia will face economic collapse which indicates that Kyiv is the one who suffer from defection and wasteful military spending. The reports of corruption by Kyiv government even from news companies that often publicize false information that support Kyiv is a fourth evidence.
Mainstream media: You mean his first term after the first elected term came to what some may or may not call a close?
With colonel-level spies in his own bodyguard unit, I can’t imagine how paranoid he must be. Allowing one of the snakes to perch around his neck sounds like a great idea.
Yermak’s authority has surpassed that of all of Ukraine’s elected officials bar the president. Some sources went so far as to describe him as the “de facto head of state” or “Ukraine’s vice-president” in a series of interviews.
Damn, wtf is Zelensky doing then?
Diplomatic sources complained that he exercised complete control over access to the president, with G7 ambassadors who hoped for an audience presented with Yermak instead.
Like seriously, wtf is going on? Why is the chief of staff meeting with diplomats even? Shouldn’t it be an ambassador or something?
The president’s office dismissed the criticism as “propaganda attacks”, insisting Zelensky regularly met ambassadors but was often out of the country or had more pressing engagements.
Everything is propaganda. Even complaints by your own allies.
Military officials, meanwhile, have accused Yermak, 52, of keeping General Valery Zaluzhny away from the president, and eventually orchestrating his dismissal as head of the armed forces in February. Yermak, they claim, considered Zaluzhny a rival to his authority.
Government insiders also blamed Yermak for the sacking of the deputy prime minister, Oleksandr Kubrakov, last month after he reported efforts by MPs in Zelensky’s party to bribe him.
Oleh Ustenko, Zelensky’s former economics adviser, who was dismissed in March without explanation.
This shit is wild lmao. This Yermak guy is just purging the Ukrainian government basically. Critical support?
Concern is mounting that Zelensky is increasingly reliant on a handful of sycophantic domestic voices
A clear sign that Ukraine is winning the war.
The Kremlin has sought to seize on Yermak’s increased influence, allegations of corruption and the expiry of Zelensky’s term of office to produce false propaganda, claiming Ukraine has become an autocracy.
Spends the entire article showing the sheer depth of Yermak’s ability to basically purge the Ukrainian government of rivals, protect his lackeys from prosecution for corruption, and basically hijack the whole legal system. Says that people are complaining that Yermak is basically acting like the head of state now. Also, when the Russians say literally the exact same thing, it’s false propaganda.
Zelensky is an actor, so he acts. Also, some more fun history on him:
So now we know the fascist actually running the show for NATO then
