Doesn’t polarization imply a roughly even split? I only see Ukraine supporting the move.

On the one hand it’s a disturbing precedent, on the other hand it’s better than an all-out war. Maybe this will usher in a new era of leaders taking direct personal shots at each-other. Better than armies of innocent young men killing each other when leaders disagree.

Yeap, as international law means nothing they will revert to sending family members as collateral to guarantee adherence to agreements, in turn this will speed the shedding of last "democracy" pretenses and make dynastic rule official again.

Then you need better glasses ;)

Keep in mind Zelensky's background.
