    Ukraine is a democracy so your entire premise is way off. Try again. Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.

      The Ukraine hasn’t been a democracy since the Nazi overthrow. Democracies have elections.

      Russia, however, is a fascist dictatorship and Portion has put many Nazis into power on occupied territories.

      You have no supporting argument for this or evidence.

        Ukraine had an election. They elected Zelenskiy.

        Russia has sham elections that are fraught with ballot stuffing.

        Russia installed several Nazis in the areas they occupied.

          They elected Zelensky then immediately outlawed all communist parties, outlawed protesting, outlawed strikes, postponed elections… real democracy vibes.

          Do you have anything to back this up?

            Alexander Zakharchenko and Igor Plotnitsky were both very clearly Nazis and both were installed by Russia.

            As for ballot stuffing:

            Anybody claiming that was a legitimate election is not arguing in good faith.
