Reply to comment by [deleted] in Zelensky signs media law criticized by journalist groups as authoritarian by heimos

Kyiv Independent is a Russian news outlet ? You must be joking, right. This law essentially gives total media control to the government. Don’t forget there is election, yes despite the war, an election in 2023. So think what it will give ruling party

How does an election work during war when the population is scattered and just trying to maintain power and heat?

I really don't think that Zelensky is in any danger of losing an election right now.

Parliament not presidential. He could lose majority. It’s not a two party system

I am going to go out on a limb and say chances are people are going to be pretty supportive of a government that's managing to fight off an invasion from a supposed super power.

Not doubting the support for the government. Doubting the fairness and freedom of choice for people and other parties. Media controls A LOT so that can be used as a tool to seat people’s opinion

How do you have an election when you have parts of the country literally occupied by a foreign power? How do you have elections when your polling locations become targets for Russian missiles?

Your post history is full of Russian apologism and defense of Andrew Tate. We know who are.

What’s the both sides to the Russian invasion? What’s their compelling argument?

There is absolutely nothing positive in invading a sovereign country. Between lives lost and ethnic damage between two nations, the pain from this conflict will last for years. With that being said, you have to zoom out and look at the bigger picture of has happened in the last 30 years between the West and Russia

So it's the West's fault Russia invaded a country that was minding its own business? LOL, funny joke my guy.

Remember when Putin and Biden met, guess what they talked about. They couldn’t agree on something, and we could only guess what. Result of that was the invasion.
