"Zelensky follows the laws in the Ukraine Constitution while the country continues to be at war"

I wonder how many people actually have a problem with this. Very few I'd suspect. Zelensky still seems popular within Ukraine, and I think most would agree that this isn't a good time for a change in leadership. Plus elections are expensive and nobody in the occupied space would be able to vote. Yeah I think this was the right call.

Really disappointing how quickly the west turned on Ukraine so they could go off to fund a genocide. They really are min-maxing for fascism.

Seems reasonable for now.

Churchill also did not hold elections during WWII either. Wartime requirements for a country under attack from an outside force take precedent.

Tell me, how is Zelinsky not a fascist? He and his government has been persecuting the Ukrainian Orthodox Church for well over a year now, countless Nazi groups in his military wearing pagan Nazi symbols. Heck, Canada recently "honored" a general that was literally in the Nazi army back in WW2 and Zelinski said he's a "Ukrainian hero"
