Moron, the incumbent Ukrainian president lost to the challenger Zelensky in 2019.
Ukraine Free elections with obstacles - the 2019 Ukrainian presidential elections
The 2019 Ukrainian presidential elections once again proved, for the sixth time in a row, that Ukrainian democracy is solid enough to allow a peaceful transfer of power. Outgoing President Petro Poroshenko accepted his defeat and cleared the way for his successor Volodymyr Zelensky.
A look at the two major post-Soviet neighbors shows that such a peaceful change of power is not a matter of fact elsewhere: In Belarus and the Russian Federation presidents Alyaksandr Lukashenka and Vladimir Putin since 1994 and 2000 have succeeded in preventing the transfer of power legitimized by elections.

When throwing around the moron tag, you should first grace, with a healthy pause, a reflective wall hanging.
Its moronic to suggest the Ukrainian elections were fixed, when the incumbent president was defeated by the challenger Zelensky, who received a landslide 73% of the vote.

Did Biden get 81,000,000 votes by voters, or were 81,000,000 ballots “counted”?
What about that don't you understand?

Tired of people posting bs and then when caught, changing the subject.
You falsely disparaged the fairness of the 2019 Ukrainian presidential elections.
Right, because Russians eliminate any Ukrainian Orthodox Churches or any church or mosque that is independent from Moscow. Ownership is transferred to the Moscow Patriarch.

You’re clearly an idiot and more clearly a troll.
That is because according to the unification council and the tomos of autocephaly issued by Constantinople those Orthodox Christians of Ukrainian provenance in the Orthodox diaspora are subject to the jurisdiction of the diocesan bishops of the Ecumenical Patriarchate.
It's a church that has been created solely for political and propaganda purposes within the country.
The Ukrainians have been seeking an independent church since the 17th century. Why should they not have one and why should Moscow insist on maintaining authority over non-Russians? Why can you not accept that the Ukrainians want independence from Moscow?

The recent decision by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church to split from its Russian counterpart after more than 300 years of being linked reflects not only the continuing military conflict between the two countries in recent years, but also the important political role Orthodox Christianity plays in the region.
Look in a mirror.
The Russia of Vladimir Putin is a Christian nation β¦. . . who seems to have no problem with Narendra Modi of ally India persecuting Christians or Hsi Chin-pβing of ally Red China doing the same thing to a worse degree.

That's hardly news. He has a bio section on his site, and wrote frequently about his background, including his time working there.
The article I quoted was not written by him, but by a guest writer. The Saker featured a lot of writers on the site besides just Andre. It was a good resource to get the Russian side of the story from.
He took it down because he felt like America was so involved in the war in Ukraine that he was endangering himself (as an immigrant of some sort) by seemingly taking the side of "America's enemy".
