How can you be so naive as to condemn Zelensky for taking these actions (which were arguably retaliation for Russia annexing Crimea and a preventative measure to stop the same happening to Ukraine) yet willfully accept Putin's complete control of the media, poisoning and jailing of political opposition and many other repressive and aggressive actions? I don't particularly condone or like Zelensky's actions but I don't see why they are constantly judged differently to Russia's actions?

I guess the goal was not to condemn or to justify rather than to provide some context conveniently lacking in the mainstream media.
