Is trump writing your news?
Ukraine a genuine "democracy" …right…
Oh wasn’t the beacon of democracy? The most brilliant vibrant democracy in the world ?!
Of Course. Don't tell me you thought everyone involved in this War were gonna be righteous Angels.
Isn't Ukraine the Pinnacle of democracy 🤭
Zelensky has previously stated that Ukraine would hold elections within a few months of a sustainable ceasefire, or the end of the war.
Its so democratic that it cant afford elections. Got it thanx.
NATO is responsible for sponsoring this genocidal war just like in Gaza, Palestine. NATO needs to surrender and say no more
expansion in eastern Europe.
If you hold elections while Russian officials are threatening to target places where large numbers of civilians gather — including polling stations — you’re basically creating a situation where millions of your own voters could potentially be sitting ducks.
I mean, unless the plan is to hold the world’s first election where the campaign slogan is:
𝗩𝗢𝗧𝗘 𝗧𝗢𝗗𝗔𝗬 — 𝗔𝗡𝗗 𝗚𝗢𝗢𝗗 𝗟𝗨𝗖𝗞 𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗩𝗜𝗩𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗢𝗟𝗟𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗢𝗡. 🤦♂😂
Jokes aside, if there is a credible threat that polling stations could be deliberately targeted, holding nationwide elections under those circumstances could put an enormous number of civilians at unnecessary risk.
If Fedorov claims he can somehow guarantee that Russian forces will not target Ukrainian polling stations, then there is a rather obvious question: 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝘅𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁?
He is calling for elections while Russia is still waging war against Ukraine, and he himself has emphasized that Ukraine needs a “legal, safe, and realistic” mechanism for elections.
So unless Fedorov has somehow acquired a secret hotline directly into the Kremlin — or, even better, has personally taken command of the Russian military — there is no way he can guarantee the safety of millions of Ukrainian voters.
And if he is publicly claiming that 𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀, then perhaps that is something the U.S. Department of Justice should take a very serious interest in.
𝗕𝗲𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗮 𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗲𝘅𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗼𝗿𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗰𝗹𝗮𝗶𝗺 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗽𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰. 😏
Maybe the DOJ could start by asking him one very simple question:
“𝗦𝗼… 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆?” 🤔
That would certainly make the election discussion considerably more interesting.
Zelensky “not doing enough” ？？ Yes，not doing enough to cover up！
Ukraine is a genuinely democratic country….🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
