Zelensky cancels Presidential elections indefinitely.

Zelensky prepares ground to delay presidential election.

Ukraine will not be able to organize elections so long as martial law is in effect, President Vladimir Zelensky told British state broadcaster BCC in an interview on Friday. His original five-year term is set to expire in May 2024.

“In accordance with the law, elections need to happen in a time of peace, when there is no fighting,” Zelensky told the BBC when asked if there would be a presidential election next year.

“Although democracy is far more than only elections, I think we all agree that without the elections, democracy cannot properly function,” Martinus Josephus Maria ‘Tiny’ Kox told Ukrainian activist Olga Aivazovska on May 17.

Aleksey Danilov, head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, responded by saying that “there can be no elections” so long as martial law remains in effect.

Under a law enacted in May 2022, Zelensky has banned a dozen political parties for allegedly challenging his official position on the conflict with Russia. The largest parliamentary opposition bloc, Opposition Platform – For Life, was outlawed last June, while the most recent ban, in February, applied to former president Viktor Yanukovich’s Party of Regions.

I'm shocked, I never saw this coming.

So now the US is backing another dictator?

Bee is slaying...

But yeah, no price-tag too high to defend that shining beacon of democracy in Eastern Europe...

My children were born into the system with ~$200k of national debt on their heads, each. It should be $1M of national debt, at least. In fact, $2M of debt would be even better. The $100 Trillion we could raise with my infinity-debt proposal should be personally delivered to Zelensky at his home residence, carte blanche, so he can use it to "establish democracy" in Ukraine and everywhere else in the world. *wink *wink Yes, let our children be eternal debt-slaves for the glory of Clown World which can never be wrong, which can never make an error, and which is always correct in meddling in the affairs of sovereign nations, toppling local regimes, and entangling all future generations of Americans in foreign matters which have no more bearing on them than the far side of the Moon. I, for one, am proud to sign my flesh & blood off into eternal slavery for so noble and glorious an end. CLOWNS FOREVER!!!
