Asked if he had ever been denied the opportunity to present his point of view on United News Telemarathon, Mr. Klitschko paused and bit his lip for 17 seconds before giving an indirect answer.
Mhmm
This whole article reads as FUD.
The time to critically analyse Zelensky’s authority is when the Russian troops have withdrawn from Ukraine or when Zelensky has become an unbearable burden for Ukrainians. Obviously, both scenarios are far from occuring
A stable authority is open to constructive criticism and not endangered by it. Instead it is strengthened by taking in and adapting to legitimate criticism.
And this is a story as old as humanity. Do the stories praise the kings that instilled fear and denied any criticism? Or do they praise the wise kings that listened to their people and never got blinded by themselves?
The stories praise the winners, typically.
Do the stories praise the kings that instilled fear and denied any criticism? Or do they praise the wise kings that listened to their people and never got blinded by themselves?
As far as I can tell, there never was a wise king that listened to their people. There are certainly stories about such kings but this is mostly people romanticising the past.
Or the stories end by them getting overthrown by envious competitors or the public itself.
I totally agree with what you said, but in time of major crisis, unity is much more important.
Remember when covid happened and politicians made wrong decisions? People started criticising everything. The only thing that changed was that politicians started to make even worse mistakes. If a country is engaged in a war, this means destabilisation and eventually losing that war.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
For the past 23 months, Ukraine’s main television channels have broadcast a single program, United News Telemarathon, that Mr. Klitschko says allows little space for dissenting voices – while journalists critical of President Volodymyr Zelensky and his administration have come under pressure.
On Sunday, investigative journalist Yuriy Nikolov – an outspoken critic of Mr. Zelensky – said unknown men had come to his apartment, banged on the door and demanded that he join the army.

A December poll conducted by Mr. Burkovskyy’s group and the Razumkov Centre, another Kyiv-based think tank, found that Mr. Zelensky was still the country’s top-rated politician, with 71 per cent of respondents saying they trusted the President.
His only serious rivals in terms of public trust were Vitaly Kim, the popular governor who last year rallied the defence of his southern Mykolaiv region, and philanthropist Serhiy Prytula, whose foundation has been one of the biggest fundraisers and donors of equipment for frontline fighters.
Despite his concerns about the drift away from democracy, Mr. Klitschko said he agreed with Mr. Zelensky that it would be impossible to hold elections, which were scheduled for this year, while the country is at war and hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians are fighting on the frontline.
