Is this what "protecting democracy" looks like?
Last week, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky signed a bill that would permit the Ukrainian government to censor news sites, control the flow of information to the Ukrainian people, and shut down news sites that aren't "registered as media," according to multiple reports. The law more resembles the totalitarian actions of the Soviet Union rather than a small country "protecting democracy," as many on the Left have claimed.
Additionally, the new law permits Ukraine's government to control all media. This includes online and print journalism, limiting the information on the nation's television networks, censoring the internet, social media networks, video platforms such as YouTube, and search engines such as Yahoo, Bing, or Google, various news outlets have claimed.
This law is so oppressive that even the European Union is against it. Earlier this year, the European Federation of Journalists encouraged Ukrainian officials to scrap this bill because it contained "many provisions that are contrary to European values," according to the Kyiv Independent.

Banning Orthodox Christianity and political parties isn’t very democratic either.
Zel needs a nice drone mission.
Who does he think he is? Joey JackAss Biden?
I’m guessing he doesn’t make any decisions, he’s no more in charge than Joe Biden.
It’s a war another party started.
We have to destroy democracy in order to save it.

Yet another consequence of the DC deep state’s long-term meddling in Ukraine, and use of it as a stick to poke and provoke Russia at its most sensitive place.
Not only will they eventually have 1 million dead, and their country’s infrastructure be destroyed - you have destroyed any civil society, trust in Ukraine institutions, and notion of democracy there for many generations.
Ukraine is gone. Its dead. Its a zombie corpse that will only show any movement while it has NATO/US money and arms moving through it.
Correct. He is the actor chosen for this globalist wealth transfer operation.
I’m not arguing that Ukraine is an example of good government, but they are involved in an existential war.
Check your history on wartime censorship by such stalwarts of Democracy as the UK, France, the USA. The USA also has defacto censorship right now via government manipulation of news, various media, etc.
In time of war do you think the press should be able to say anything?
I’m glad we had men like Washington, Lincoln, and FDR in charge of our wars rather than a liberal snowflake like you whose heart breaks for a reporter not able to print troop movements.
ENEMIES OF THE STATE:
To Democrats and Democrat Socialists of America, to the EU Commission, to the WEF, WHO and UN and to the mainstream media, yes.
Because they care so much -- to rule over others.
lol.... shut your suckhole, n00b mystery-meat.
we did the same thing during world war 2, I don’t see the big deal here.
So do you believe that anything should be allowed in wartime?
Does your heart pitter patter with concern that you wouldn’t be able to do anything you wanted during wartime?
I believe you should just shut your silly troll-hole.
The Bidenreich approves.
