Over the last years since the start of the Ukraine War, we have repeatedly heard that Zelenskyy removed governmental officers and army officers from their posts due to their ‘failures’, yet we NEVER hear that Zelenskyy is going to resign from his post due to the strategic failure of Ukraine, namely abandoning the Minsk Agreement by barking at Russia with NATO near their shared border, resulting in this disastrous war that devastated Ukraine in any aspect. Worse, despite that the last Democratic Presidential Election in Ukraine was carried out in 2019, and Zelenskyy assumed office in May 2019, Zelenskyy prevented the Presidential Election, namely Zelenskyy prevented the democratic political right of his nation from deciding if they want Zelenskyy to continue to be a President or to elect a new one. Since the start of the Ukraine War, we have seen on a daily basis how Zelenskyy very good at arranging ‘Public Relation’ (Propaganda) to hide the failure of Ukraine in handling this war, so there is no doubt that Zelenskyy has the ability to carry out a Democratic Presidential Election under war. However, Zelenskyy did not do it not because of the war but because of his fear of losing the election, so Zelenskyy de-facto has become an Autocrat under the ‘Silence’ of the EU and the USA that have become famous for their ‘Double Standards’.
The Ukranian Nation has the right to decide if they want Zelenskyy to continue to be their President or Not, so a Democratic Presidential Election MUST be carried out without any delay in Ukraine, including in Ukrainian embassies worldwide.
