Respect freedom of people who respect yours. Help each other. Fight together against those who try to take it away.
His commitment to his people
Commitment to… Continuing treating country as a prison and people as slaves who can be kidnapped off the streets and then be dent to death as a cannon fodder? I hope you will one day have a dictator with similar commitment to you.
Who is your post about?
We win so much that our glorious leaderahip just can’t stop bragging about it every month
Well, I am obviously not expecting to change a mind of someone from the sopuli instance (the top post there right now is “Ukraine’s Top Military Leadership: We Are Starting to Win, Russia Is Starting to Lose” 🙃).
But pointing out propaganda is better than doing nothing.
The context for the first link - the parliament actually FAILED to vote for it the first time (that’s why the second attempt was required). https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2025/02/24/7499829/ imagine banning opposing political parties, and still failing to secure a vote “confirming” your legitimacy. Yep, that’s how bad it is.
As for the second link (in case there are people who unironically believe this) - people are literally kidnapped from the streets, packed into vans and sent to the meatgrinder. Remember hearing about oppressive regimes where you are going to jail for criticizing the government? Ukraine is a democratic country, so here you are not going to jail, you are going to be just killed. I don’t know who are the 43% in this article brave enough to say they don’t support Zelensky.
“A dictator disproves the fact of him being a dictator by saying he is not”.
Wow, that’s pure genius right here.
You are agreeing with one of the biggest pieces of shit on the planet
Well, if Hitler (or whoever you consider the worst human to have ever lived) would say that the water is wet I’d agree with him on that.
I don’t think that makes me a bad person whatsoever, but you do you
I’m kinda starting to wonder, with all the “democracy is only when the correct candidate wins” and “elections are undemocratic, everybody supports the totally-not-dictator anyway”, what exactly is the difference between western definition of a democracy and dictatorship?..
Thank you, it’s really heartwarming to hear something nice instead of… the usual Lemmy stuff! ❤
Would you like to describe those concerns?
Well, sure! I am very concerned indeed that in the “aggressor country” that according to the news is about to go bankrupt (for the last 3 years…), people are volunteering to join the army because of monetary incentives, but Zelensky together with the “democratic” west decided that me and other Ukrainians are his personal slaves who can be kidnapped off the streets and sent to the meatgrinder just like this. All of that while receiving hundreds of billions of dollars, with at least a hundred just missing… Very concenening indeed.
Despite how concerning this is, I don’t see how is this relevant here? I hope you were not trying to justify terrorizing people with “well, you see in that other place they are doing bad things as well, so why shouldn’t we do that”?
I didn’t say I support it.
Well, thank you for that at least…
Who is at fault? The attacking nation. Russia. This is the enemy. They are at fault.
Russia is in no way at fault for Zelensky’s actions. It was his and his alone choice to trap people in a country with active hostilities (so that he both has more cannon fodder to expense and more casualties to pin on Russia). It was his and his alone choice to kidnap people off the streets and send them to their deaths. The enemy for the people being kidnapped and sent to their deaths is Zelensky’s regime and others who support that regime. Russia does a lot of terrible things, but all of what I originally commented is solely on Zelensky and those who support him. Putin is not trying to get me, my friends, my family and everyone I know killed, Zelensky does.
it would be worse if the Russian army advances and murders and tortures civilians in the process like they have done already.
Like they did in Crimea, Melitopol, Donetsk, Lugansk, etc. right (and like Ukrainian force did NOT do in Kursk)? Or are people on those lands still doing [relatively] okay and can move to Ukraine controlled territories at any moment, while those who are on Ukraine controlled territories are kidnapped off the streets and cannot leave? Should [for a Ukrainian] be tortured by Ukrainians be somehow more preferable than being tortured by a Russian? (Ukrainian parliament members said that there are many more cases like this, it’s just the only one that managed to gain attention)
Imagine how funny it would be, if the western “pro-democratic” leaders would support an authoritarian sadistic clown who despite banning the opposing political parties still couldn’t get the parliament to vote in favour of
The statement also indicates that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s mandate is not questioned by the Ukrainian people or the Verkhovna Rada.
…in front of those same leaders he invited? That shit would be hilarious as fuck if it were true, but obviously “pravda.com.ua” is a Russian disinformation site, so we’re safe ;)
it always has been like that.
People were always hunted down on the streets and packed into vans by masked people (there is an entire new word for that btw, “busification”) with the west cheering the man who does it as a great democratic leader? Huh.
it surely is not the fault of the nation that is under attack.
But it is surely the fault of the people being kidnapped, beaten, tortured and killed, right? I mean, you wouldn’t support this happening to innocent people who never wronged you?
So, the war has been going on for three fucking years already, and you still don’t know what’s actually going on there, all while supporting the regime? Well, I am not surprises even a little bit.
There are shitton of articles written by western media about the kidnappings, but I am sure they are all sponsored by Russia, right?
https://www.yahoo.com/news/m-ukrainian-conscription-officer-people-070000956.html?guccounter=1.
Here is a library of a fraction of videos about that (obviously faked and sponsored by Russia, because CNN told me Zelensky is good, this cannot be happening): https://uadraftmuseum.ch/incidents
Turning a country into a prison that people desperately try to escape by crossing the border through rivers/mountains (and often die trying), or by going to the “aggressor” controlled territories (remind me please, how many Poles or even better Jews were escaping their countries and fleeing to Germany during WW2 because it was safer there for them?) and people getting kidnapped, beaten, held in basemenets for days, tortured and even killed by the brave “recruitment officers” of Zelensky’s regime seems like good enough reason for me.
I think Peskov just said that there is no agreement yet actually
Well, you (as in liberals or US democrats) are literally trying to kill me and every other Ukrainian while trying to convince the world you are actually the good guys…
So yeah, I don’t think there is anything you can say that will convince me that actually killing millions of innocent people is good.
I am quite sure I described Zelensky.
I wish you to once also become a part of the free world as well, where you can’t leave your country, and you along with your entire family are kidnapped off the streets by the regime of such a “leader of the free world”, beaten, and sent to a meatgrinder where you die in a couple of weeks, or get permanently injured.
He should not confine, terrorize and kidnap innocent people.
But I didn’t say anything that needs believing, all of that are extremely well documented facts.
