Last week, we warned of a coming anti-democratic backslide. Now, we see it happening.
Under the new law, the prosecutor general, a notoriously non-independent figure, will now oversee anti-corruption investigations — in a complete overturn of the system that was set up to be independent from other law enforcement bodies.
In reality, it means that Zelensky’s office will be able to stop investigations with a phone call.
It also closely follows an escalated prosecution of Ukraine’s best-known anti-corruption activist, an outspoken critic of Zelensky.
Corrupt, Independent Ukraine is still preferable to Russian Puppet “Ukraine”
Westerners really don’t care what Ukrainians think, do they?
“Independent”, yeah right
Even “Ostensibly Independent Ukraine” is probably better than “Subjugated Russian Vassal State Ukraine”
Yes they’re awful, but they’re our awful guys amirite.
this but the euros are unironic about it:
Poland once threw its doors open to millions of Ukrainian refugees, but the mood has shifted
Poland has begun to deport Ukrainian refugees
the “our European [read: white] brothers/sisters” shtick is tearing apart.
wheeze
they subjugated vessal.
our ostensibly independent ukraine.
But is it worth dying for?
It’s a sacrifice that Europeans that aren’t Ukrainians in Ukraine are willing to make.
I am not sure if you realize how Ukrainians “join the military”.
I am aware, it ranges between stealing of passports and kidnapping, libs refer to them as “unconventional tactics”, anyone with a working conscience refers to them as no less than bloodthirsty Western meatgrinder operations.
