Good point. 50% of Ukrainians voted for pro-Russian candidates before a violent Revolution overthrew Democracy in Ukraine in 2014

You do realize that there were two elections since then, don't you? How long are you going to push this canard?

Are you kidding? The Ukraine loyalists on FR that take their marching orders from the MSM, will only turn on Ukraine if CNN or MSNBC tells them to.

Who’s arguing? There have indeed been 2 Elections…without the 3 Ukrainian Oblasts seceded that seceded after the Revolution and declared themselves Autonomous Republics.

No country has to put up with a “political party” that is actively trying to undermine it

these clowns were Russian tools, deliberately sabotaging the political process ... they deserved to be banned

btw all you Putin apologists, how much freedom do political parties have in the pedophile’s Russia?

None, that’s how much ... but you never mention that fact, you just keep cheering for the dictator

Even during the Civil War crisis, Lincoln didn’t ban the Democratic Party or suspend the 1864 presidential election.

Democracy is a really bad way to run a government... except for all the rest.

Unless of course you are the leader, then oligarchy is the way to go!

The appearance of chaos is view by our grifter-run government as another opportunity to skim cash off the top. The number of dead bodies on either side is irrelevant. They don’t even blush about it anymore.

Last month, President Zelensky signed a bill into law that gave the green light to ban any party that challenged the government’s policy on the Russian invasion, empowering courts to seize assets without the right to appeal.

No wonder the Democrats are so enamored with Zelensky.

Doubtful. We are fortunate that they didn’t fall for the Russian hacking/collusion hoax that was tailor-made for them. So, there’s that.

Nonsense, they received support as the major opposition party because of widespread support for their platform. Calling them traitors no more makes them so than saying the Republican party should be banned because TDS Democrats say Republicans are traitors.

At the end of the day Kyiv will share borders with Moscow, not Brussels or Washington. Sounds like the party that appreciates that fact just got banned by the puppet of the Western elites.

Sounds exactly like what the USA and Canada are working towards - a full-blown Nazi dictatorship. Oh, excuse me, I should use neo-Nazi so all the Zelensky/Trudeau supporters can lie to themselves to feel good about themselves.

I see almost everyone commenting here has been consistently a Putin or Russia supporter for the past 4 months. I do think it is important to keep watch on this kind of trend. Where does the line separating a pro-Russian opposition and a loyal opposition lie? Ukraines president has worked hard and courageously to keep his country from being conquered. That is hard enough work to also have to be dealing with other Ukrainians at work trying to undermine his efforts for the country. Does membership in EU have provisions for looking at this issue before granting membership? If the Russians can ever be sent home, then more political liberalism can be considered and reestablished.

Next month, they will begin seizing property of anyone accused of being pro Russian!

Can you imagine the fear and chaos that is coming, it will be like the French revolution.

That’s the very same line the Dems used against Trump.

Oh yes. Peaceful Democratic Ukraine.

Meanwhile in Russia ... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_political_parties_in_Russia

Admittedly not quite a free country by my high standards (neither is the current year USA), but Russia has lots of opposition. Even a Communist Party (that doesn't amount to anything).
