Zelensky hasn't imprisoned his main political rivals. His opponent in the last presidential election, Petro Poroshenko, is free. His potential future rivals — Zaluzhnyi, Budanov, and Fedorov — are also free. Just days ago, Zelensky explicitly offered to hold elections if Russia agreed to a 60-day ceasefire. The Kremlin rejected the proposal. And elections aren't just about casting ballots on a single day. They require campaigns, debates, political competition, and equal opportunities for candidates and voters. How exactly is that supposed to work while Russia is bombing Ukrainian cities and millions of Ukrainians are displaced? Putin, meanwhile, rewrote the constitutional rules to stay in power, imprisoned his main opposition leader Alexei Navalny, who was subsequently poisoned to death in prison according to five European governments, and systematically eliminates genuine political competition. Just this August, Russia's Supreme Court barred Yabloko — the only registered Russian party openly opposing the invasion of Ukraine — from parliamentary elections. But sure, tell us more about Putin's impressive 87%.
