I am just trying to figure out what the fall out is going to be for Zelensky. It's obvious that Western media has created a monster with Zelensky. He is now attempting to turn Nato countries against America in order to create an alternative. Zelensky has banned the Russian Orthodox church, banned opposing political parties, and uses secret police to suppress criticism. Is Zelensky opposing peace because he wants to keep power?

He doesn't call the shots so he can't be a dictator. Like Biden didn't call the shots.

He fits the definition of a dictator.

If you want to call Putin or Xi or Bukele a dictator then you have to call Zelenskyy a dictator.

He is afraid to end the war because he will likely be dead within a year.

According to Grok3:

Zelensky's government banned the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC) under the Moscow Patriarchate, a specific religious organization tied to Russia. This is not a ban on Christianity itself but rather on a legal entity aligned with the Moscow patriarchy.
- Context of the Ban: This action was part of Ukraine's broader effort to reduce Russian influence, especially amid the ongoing war. The UOC under Moscow's authority was seen as a channel for Russian propaganda and influence, prompting the ban.
- Freedom to Practice Remains: Ukrainians are still free to practice Christianity, including Eastern Orthodoxy, under other church administrations not affiliated with Moscow. For example, the Orthodox Church of Ukraine, which is independent, continues to operate freely.
- Misinformation Clarified: Some posts on platforms like X claim Zelensky banned Christianity entirely, but these lack factual support and exaggerate the situation. Additionally, a law change in July 2023 allowed Ukrainians to shift Christmas celebrations from January (a Russian tradition) to December, but this was a cultural adjustment, not a religious ban.

In summary, Zelensky targeted a specific church organization for political and security reasons, not Christianity as a religion. The claim that he banned Christianity in Ukraine is false and unsupported by credible evidence.

The Ukrainian constitution calls for no elections during war time. He didn't unilaterally cancel elections.

Yes,
The Ukrainian Constitution allows the president to declare martial law when there is an invasion.
But once there is no election then he becomes a dictator.

The Romans had the same method, they could suspend elections and appoint an overall leader in times of crises.

That man was called a "DICTATOR"

As long as martial law persists there, in essence he is.

Ukraine law holds that the powers of the president, parliament, and the cabinet cannot be terminated during martial law. At Zelensky's request, martial law has been repeatedly extended by Ukraine's parliament. It was recently extended until May. No legal mechanism exists to hold an election until it is lifted.
