      Zelensky's Democracy List :
      - Impose Martial Law
      - Conscript and force men 25-60 to fight
      - Forcefully kidnap anyone who doesn't report for duty
      - Ban all opposition political parties
      - Call off elections
      - Force all radio and TV broadcasts to come under a government controlled umbrella
      Russia isn't a democracy. But that doesn't mean Ukraine is. Ukraine is nothing more than an old Slavic regime, and Zelensky and his governments actions have proven that.

      Well, they are pointing out Zelensky's favorability has dropped from 90% to 69%. Although this is still high support, it's on a downward trend as people are getting weary & fatigued over the war that grows ever longer. Putin expects that they can outlast Ukraine over time.
      Things like lowering age of conscription unnerving people seems to show that the people are losing their will to fight. Sounds like Ukraine has run out of the enthusiastic warriors, and now they are being forced to pull people into service against their will.

    Why ARE there no defensive lines? What happend to the money that was "used" for them?
    I often hear: The army doesn't have enough manpower to build them. So why aren't woman building them?
    Why shouldn't woman do something for their country too?
    We saw this e.g. in Britain and Germany in WW1+2 - men where doing the dying on the frontlines - but woman did their part. They were tolling the fields, working in factories.
    So why isn't Ukraine using some woman to build those fortifications?
    What about equality woman always demand?

    It's a classic *Catch*-22: elections cannot be held while hostilities are ongoing, but hostilities will not end until there is a legitimate leadership capable of making peace (which doesn't exist).
    Therefore, the power struggle will persist until the end of the state.

      @KrazyIvan69 OK. But how do you see this war finishing? Maybe new elections are needed for it to end? Was Zelenski elected on the platform of escalating with Russia, insisting on NATO and Crimea, or because people thought he could make peace with Russia? It seems like continuing this war is just rushing into oblivion at this point.

    Kira Ridikulous, MP etc... "The proof we're democrats is that we stick to the rules : no election during martial law" and so on. Conclusion : Zelensky will still be president (unelected) in 10 years. Cool for him. Meanwhile, ukrainians vote with their feet by evading en masse conscription. Voting for a Tv show hero was childish. And now, you start to know.
