President Zelenskyy has consolidated all TV platforms in Ukraine into one state broadcast and restricted political rivals. Political opposition fears such civil liberty constraints could continue.
JUANA SUMMERS, HOST:
Ukraine has had to take extraordinary measures to fight Russia's invasion. Among them, the government has consolidated the country's television outlets and dissolved rival political parties. It says it needs to do this to maintain a united front in fighting Russia. NPR's Emily Feng reports from Kyiv.

So: fine if you hate and distrust Putin all day — well warranted — but anyone here that pretends we’re defending liberty or freedom or self-governance in Ukraine is at best deluded. Our dollars are defending socialist totalitarianism and the WEF hegemony.
He’s a Dictator. No kidding...on our dime!!
This is a good example of the “Liberal World Order” that the Democrat Party advocates for.
Zelensky is an authoritarian puppet of the US, and a traitor to the Ukrainian people.
nice job globohomo neoCONs
And here we are supposed to think Ukraine is the shining beacon of democracy. Zelensky is nothing but a democrat in disguise.
This is the essence of Blinken’s forever war in action.
# Dissolved the opposition political parties
# shut down opposition TV stations and newspapers
# There will be no more free and fair elections.
# Draft hundreds of thousands of people on threat of jail
# Put nationalist formations behind territorial defense units placed in trenches, to prevent any possible escape for draftees
# Terrorize anyone who disagrees with forever war with SBU raids and hits.
# A new law coming into force in 3 weeks: anyone accused of being pro russian forfeits their property.
With all aspects of the government under control, and no means to resist, the massive flow of funding will not stop.
Defense industry profits are astounding, and with them come huge political kickbacks.
The 1000 killed and wounded draftees don’t like it but the press won’t report much on it and no one cares.
They will claim these people are enthusiastic supporters of the whole thing
i meant to say 1000 killed and wounded per day
Oh no, Zelensky banned 11 pro-Russian/commie parties out of Ukraine's more than 300 registered parties and he also arrested leaders of the Leninist Communist Youth Union of Ukraine. End of democracy!
Parties banned: "Opposition Platform for Life", which is run by Victor Medvechuk, who's daughter's godfather is Putin. The other parties were also pro-Russian and detestable socialist/communist-Shariy Party, Nashi, Opposition Bloc, Left Opposition, Union of Left Forces, State, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialists Party, and Volodymyr Saldo Bloc, among others..
No wonder Biden is supporting him. He’s doing what Biden wishes he could do.
I was against send him the first dollar from day one.
The main opposition party with Poroshenko is still active and I see Ukrainian news sources on Twitter openly criticizing the government or the armed forces when they are unhappy about something.
They have more of a free press than we do.
It’s good to see that modern day American democracy, that we spend trillions to spread, is taking root somewhere.
Lol, ok exactly what are you smoking?
Yep.
