Under Martial Law, Ukraine President Zelenskyy Consolidates All Media Into State Media, Disbands All Political Opposition Parties

Following the ‘democracy must be destroyed in order to preserve it model‘, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dissolved all political opposition parties and consolidated all media.

There’s a word to describe when a single national leader takes control over all media platforms and dissolves the political parties of his opposition. However, apparently, we are not allowed to notice that because Russia “invaded a sovereign democracy” or something.

LVIV, Ukraine, March 20 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has signed a decree that combines all national TV channels into one platform, citing the importance of a “unified information policy” under martial law, his office said in a statement on Sunday.

Ukrainian privately owned media channels have hitherto continued to operate since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. The decree announcement, made on the presidential website, did not specify how quickly the new measure would come into force. (link)

“Although my anti-censorious nature says that’s wrong, we’re seeing first hand what happens when anti-national parties run amok in the countries they hate.”

I take it you don’t live in the United States.

Ukraine is in fact the underbelly of the deep state.

I'm of a similar view.

Ukraine is the *head* of the Deep State Cabal snake.

A major center for Adrenochrome production.

That’s cute. You think Democrats don’t hate this country with the way they run things? There’s no way so many Human beings are incompetent to this point, and it’s no accident. It sure appears to me that they are deliberately running this country into the ground, and retaining power by any means possible.

Normally, I’d prefer for political parties to hash things out with debate and allow people to come to their own conclusions, but there is no debate allowed. Even when it is, it’s slanted to appease one side over the other, to a great degree.

I’m curious what made you think I’m not in the US.

As expected, certainly.
Not so long ago, we were (rightly) vilifying Ukraine leadership, you may recall.

Not sure the rationale behind the current adoration, unless it’s a fight to preserve the Swamp’s Money Laundry.

That reaction usually comes from a Q tard type. They get so darn mad and upset when you dare question the source of all their worldly knowledge.

Except he did not disband all opposition parties. Only one of the 11 parties named has seats in the Ukrainian Parliament.

One of the parties open advocates union between Russia and Ukraine (problematic during a Russian invasion) and another is the Ukrainian remains Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

During wartime it’s generally allowed, even under the strict definitions of US law to suppress parties that openly advocate for the enemy.

Yup, and that is why the grocery store manager Sundance needs to buy a clue before writing stupid articles like this one.

Sundance is an amusing blogger, but his repeated utterance of blatant falsehoods is off-putting. Not all political parties have been dissolved. Ukraine has literally dozens of political parties.

You cite Wikipedia, which can (and does) contain outdated information.

So the media are now lockstep with the regime and there is no real opposition political party to fight back?

Imagine living in a place like that.

Oh wait....

Obviously, we must put US boots on the ground to support the growth of Democracy in Ukraine.
