      Zelensky's Democracy List :
      - Impose Martial Law
      - Conscript and force men 25-60 to fight
      - Forcefully kidnap anyone who doesn't report for duty
      - Ban all opposition political parties
      - Call off elections
      - Force all radio and TV broadcasts to come under a government controlled umbrella
      Russia isn't a democracy. But that doesn't mean Ukraine is. Ukraine is nothing more than an old Slavic regime, and Zelensky and his governments actions have proven that.

      Well, they are pointing out Zelensky's favorability has dropped from 90% to 69%. Although this is still high support, it's on a downward trend as people are getting weary & fatigued over the war that grows ever longer. Putin expects that they can outlast Ukraine over time.
      Things like lowering age of conscription unnerving people seems to show that the people are losing their will to fight. Sounds like Ukraine has run out of the enthusiastic warriors, and now they are being forced to pull people into service against their will.

You said that the Russian army cannot fight, its weapons and tanks are old, hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers died, there are no Russian soldiers to fight. You said that we need money and weapons for defense in 2024, otherwise the Russians will defeat us. It's been 3 years, but you want to recruit people under the age of 28. If you don't have soldiers, you can't win a war with money and weapons. War is won by volunteer soldiers who fight honorably for their country. It is won by the army and the people who respect their leaders. I feel sorry for the soldiers who had to fight and die because they were poor and old while the rich and women left the country.

    Why ARE there no defensive lines? What happend to the money that was "used" for them?
    I often hear: The army doesn't have enough manpower to build them. So why aren't woman building them?
    Why shouldn't woman do something for their country too?
    We saw this e.g. in Britain and Germany in WW1+2 - men where doing the dying on the frontlines - but woman did their part. They were tolling the fields, working in factories.
    So why isn't Ukraine using some woman to build those fortifications?
    What about equality woman always demand?

    Yevhenia Kravchuk and Kira Rudik being Members of Ukrainian Parliment do not know Ukrainian laws. As per Ukrainian legislation, only parliament cannot be elected during war time, this rule is not applied to the president elections.
