We don't give a shit about democracy, in Ukraine, Russia, or anywhere else. Zelensky, the US's favorite champion of "democracy", has banned his political opposition, which even the EU has criticized.

I remember Democrats calling Trump a fascist for saying CNN was fake news. And now they cheer as our puppet in Ukraine outright bans any media critical of him, while they call for Putin to be assassinated.

Even western pollsters find that Putin has overwhelming approval in Russia, whereas before the invasion, Zelensky's support had fallen dramatically in Ukraine.

It's difficult to know where Zelensky's true approval rating is now, as the war has turned everything into propaganda, and any media outlets publishing a low approval rating would probably get shutdown by Zelensky.
