  They will say that the Ukrainian constitution forbids elections under martial law, when in fact this is only for the Verkhovnaya Rada, and not the Presidential post. And besides, it’s not like the constitution told Zelensky he should ban the opposition parties lmfao.

  Liberals will spread misinformation like wildfire because their American-propagandized worldview depends on it.

    It's both. Article 11 part 2.3 of this, translated below:

    3. In the event that the term of office of the President of Ukraine expires during martial law, his powers shall be extended until the newly elected President of Ukraine, elected after the abolition of martial law, takes office.

    This part was added by the Verkhovna Rada in December 2022, within their original term and also Zelenskyy's.

  Lol do you really believe the elections in Russia are fair in the slightest?

  He literally assassinated his opponents.

    There's also the small fact that Zelensky has not banned elections.

      He just banned his opposition from running in them. Certainly not the same thing.

        Sure, if you ignore that it's actually the Ukrainian constitution suspending the elections and also ignore that most opposition MPs have not been banned from anything

  The Ukrainian constitution specifically does not permit elections during martial law. He is following the law of the country that was already in place before his administration

    Nazis also followed the law. It just so happened that they were Nazi laws.

      Sure, so "following the law" is not a value judgment one way or the other. It depends on whether the law is just. However, the accusation here is that Zelenskyy is a dictator because he banned elections. This is simply untrue; he did not make that decision.

        Yes, he’s a dictator because he banned opposition parties, lol
