Comment on Vladimir Putin peace terms slammed at Ukraine summit
Skua@kbin.earth 3 months agoThe 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

It is not even slightly weird or dictatorial to ban parties that are cooperating with an invading army, and the parties that got banned are not even a majority of the opposition members of the parliament
