Agreed, just because Ukraine is a better play for the US, and Russia was the aggressor does not mean that magically Ukraine can do no wrong.
It's the same with Israel, it's a better play for the US than the Hamas/Fatah side, but that doesn't mean they should be free from criticism and scrutiny.

Exactly.

But the Ukraine Cinstitution is not the same as ours.
Nineteen per cent of our country isn’t occupied by a foreign power.
Much of the US isn’t defending itself against nightly air raids.
Millions of Americans didn’t flee the country.

What seems to never be mentioned by the Politards concerning Ukraine. This is not a first in the world over the last 100 years in non authoritarian nations. There definitely is an issue with Russian influence behind the scenes not only in Ukraine but in the EU as well.

While non sequitur, it looks like Orban is in trouble at home with his anti LGBT/Pro Family yeehaw while covering up for PEDOs. Which could make a dent in Putin's influence in the EU thus undermining Russian influence behind the scenes.

The court in Estonia sentenced Pavel Kapustin, a Russian citizen living in Narva, to 6.5 years in prison for espionage in favor of Russia.

According to the investigation, Kapustin deliberately established contact with the Russian special service FSB and passed on data relevant to Estonia's security.

Among other things, the Security Police (KaPo) assure that he collected information about the sentiments of Narva residents.

At the same time, Kapustin was engaged in the illegal smuggling of sanctioned goods — mainly luxury items, alcohol, and electronics — from Estonia and other EU countries to Russia.

According to KaPo, Kapustin hired dozens of local residents, training them to bypass customs control rules.

By court decision, in addition to imprisonment, his property worth about 90,000 euros was also confiscated.

After he finishes the 6.5 spent eating mayonaise sandwiches, he will be taken straight to the Russian border and tossed. If there is a Russia by then.

I gathered all heads of Ukraine’s law enforcement and anti-corruption agencies, along with the Prosecutor General. It was a much-needed meeting — a frank and constructive conversation that truly helps. We all share a common enemy: the Russian occupiers. And defending the Ukrainian state requires a strong enough law enforcement and anti-corruption system — one that ensures a real sense of justice.

Criminal proceedings must not drag on for years without lawful verdicts. And those who work against Ukraine must not feel comfortable or immune to the inevitability of punishment.

I am grateful to all participants of today’s meeting: the Security Service of Ukraine, the National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine, Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office, the National Agency on Corruption Prevention, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the Prosecutor General. Thank you for your willingness to work as a team — as Team Ukraine — and in the interests of Ukraine. We agreed that everyone would work solely in a constructive manner.

We all hear what society is saying. We see what people expect from state institutions — ensured justice and the effective functioning of each institution. We discussed the necessary administrative and legislative decisions that would strengthen the work of each institution, resolve existing contradictions, and eliminate threats. Everyone will work together. At the political level, we will provide support.

We agreed that next week, there will be an in-depth working meeting on the joint action plan. And in two weeks, a joint plan must be ready — outlining the steps that are needed and will be implemented to strengthen Ukraine, resolve existing issues, deliver greater justice, and truly protect the interests of Ukrainian society.

The people of Kiev know authoritarian moves when they see one.

Even the cucks at the BBC are calling it out.

Shame!
Shame!
Shame!

Z's main goal in this war right now is to ensure his own survival and retention of all power.

The expectations are very low

They were.

I thought that after Russia launched its Special Operation the war would be over in three months. Now three years after that Russia has less of Ukraine than they once had.

In my mind Ukraine and all their warts have exceeded my expectations. In fact I’m getting close to the point where I can see Russia settling on way less than what their initial goals were.

And that would be a win for Ukraine.

Bagdad Bob of Kiev with a quick reply. Got to get that spin out and do damage control!!!!

He almost instantly replies to stuff like that, but definitely not a bot guys!

"I thought the game against the Eagles would be over in the first quarter, but we only ended up losing by two touchdowns. I'm counting that as a win"

The crazy thing is that Ukrainians can freely gather in Kyiv and protest outside Zelensky's office.

Just like Russians are free to organize mass protests in Red Square ....
