Thus disarming the lie that he’s a dictator that is spread by fine people like Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Lemmy tankies.

“A dictator disproves the fact of him being a dictator by saying he is not”.
Wow, that’s pure genius right here.
No no you don’t get it. A dictator isn’t when you outlaw opposition parties, call off elections, and push charges of treason for dissident leaders and publish their names in a kill list.
Dictatorship is when you don’t obey every whim of the US.
Smart move tbh. Pressure is applied, pressure is returned to sender. Given Zelenskyys now mediocre approval, it might even boost public opinion in his favour
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.
You are trying to present facts to people who are unable to breath out of the propagandosphere
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.
