>that the Ukraine president is a dictator and so on...

A year ago Zelensky closed all opposition TV channels on the pretext they were pro-Russian. [0] Not one or two. All of them. Since then there is no opposition TV in Ukraine.

An extremely democratic move, isn't it?

Russia was waging a proxy war in the east, and used these channels as an propaganda weapon. So it's not so strange as you try to make it seem.

It's not the same as forbidding certain words and jailing journalists for 15 years for not agreeing with the state.

In Ukraine the three was all. Since a year ago zero is all.

And there was not even a court decision. He just unplugged them overnight without notice. How democratic.
