Ukraine has had a democracy? It cannot decline if it never existed. An oligarchy, maybe, that makes a play of sham elections, much in the mold of the Soviet Union of which Ukraine was once a part. But Ukraine today is not a “democracy” in the sense there are competing political parties or honest elections.

Maybe it is the kind of “democracy” of “One man, one vote, one way, one time”.

Right, Ukraine having free and fair elections since 2000 with five different presidents from 4 different parties is not a democracy. Okay

Seems that is the carbon copy of the government in Gaza called hamas, if they allowed elections.

I don’t know if people here have corrected you before about what you posted, but I do know that this stuff has been corrected over and over going back to 2022 and it doesn’t seem to matter to some here, they just post things that aren’t true but that they like the sound of.
