that “would have played into Russia’s hands,”

Presumably this implies the “coup attempt” was by Russian spies and local collaborators. So why not just say so?

Under the Ukrainian constitution, they cannot hold an election while martial law is under effect. Much of the population (a majority?) is either displaced or in an occupied territory.

The rules say no democracy while we’re doing a police state. Sorry those are the rules.

Elections during a war would lead to the enemy interfering and installing a puppet government.

Especially if we are talking about Russia.

When I look up the definition of tankie I see something about authoritarian communism. Can you explain your comment I’m just curious

Everyone on .ml is a tankie. Everyone on .world is a fascist. Lemmy loves its serverism, unfortunately.

People can’t comprehend that different people can have different opinions, apparently. There needs to be an easier explanation for it such as “tankie” or “fascist”. “Idiot/ignorant” is a much more believable explanation,.imo

Trying to get rid of Zelensky now is russian propaganda when only a small part of the country are able to vote. It would strip the democratic rights away from those living in captured territory.

Stalin saved the world from fascism and liberals will never forgive him for it.

Elections would be good, but hard to do for 1/3 of the country

Those were the parts of the country they were ethnically cleansing anyway. Besides, they banned the political parties that were popular there.

And they already voted. To join Russia.
