Wrong
EVERY other party besides Zelensky is banned.
You want peace? Banned. You gotta be pro Russian.
The state controls ALL media. All dissension is banned.
You go ahead and keep your eyes closer that Zelensky is not a thug dictator.
“illegal to support Russia openly. No big surprise there. Ukrainian officers and officials who were found to be communicating with Russia get arrested, and some meet a bad end. Its war.”
When your country is invaded, you fight the war.
Now, if you want to talk about “thug dictators”, you’ve got two in Putin and Lukashenko.

Hey, fruitcake, don’t pretend to be logical, doesn’t work
“Wrong. EVERY other party besides Zelensky is banned.”
This is absolutely FALSE. Eleven pro Russian parties were banned. Five of them included left, leftist, or Socialist in their name. However other parties exist and their representatives were voted into office in 2019 as shown in the long chart in this link. The last year with results is 2019, the next election is 2024. Most of those results are near the bottom of the chart.

This next link is a discussion with Ukraine media people about the wartime restrictions, their concerns for possible authoritarianism, but belief that will not be the final result.
