Zelensky is a bad person. This guy is detained only because he disagreed with Zelensky as the head of another political party.

That is what Biden wants to do in America. Arrest and imprison Trump.

Is there any due process involved when the US decides to sanction foreigners and seize their property? Or do we just sanction anyone Victoria Nuland doesn’t like?

Medvechuk is Putin's close ally. In 2004, Putin became godfather to Medvedchuk's youngest daughter Darya

Zelensky with the beard and wild eyes looks like a budding Marxist. Come to think of it......he is.

That was the year we staged the coup in Ukraine.

This guy is the leader of a party that we didn’t like.

“This guy is the leader of a party that we didn’t like.”

This guy is a Putin puppet who was promised the presidency of Ukraine after Putin invaded Ukraine and took over Kyiv.
So far, Putin hasn’t succeeded.
