No, I don’t know that. Even western media admits that Putin has over 80% support. Meanwhile, using a war as an excuse for a regime holding on to power without a mandate is not democracy. If people of Ukraine wanted to fight the invasion then they’d vote Zelensky back in. It’s that simple.
No, “western” media reports that Putin got more than 80% of the votes in an election that was obviously rigged. Holding democratic elections is anything but simple and in a country fighting an invasion it’s practically impossible.
The Putler puppets at The Time seem to be reporting this, but do go on. 🤡
Meanwhile, you’ll have to explain to us all why holding democratic elections in a country fighting an invasion is practically impossible. Presumably, if the government had popular support for fighting, then it would win by a landslide. The only thing that makes impossible is the fact that people don’t actually want to fight, and the government is a western puppet regime that’s sacrificing people of Ukraine to serve western interests. This is why they literally kidnap people off the street, which is some more ruzzian propaganda reported by NYT https://www.nytimes.com/2023/12/15/world/europe/ukraine-military-recruitment.html
My habit is to point when western media twists the truth because it has obvious biases. The fact that the media in the west has been saying how Russian army is collapsing for the past two years, and it’s now starting to admit that the opposite is the case is just one example. I’ve been saying the same thing consistently for the past two years, and I’m proven right by the facts on the ground time and again. If you consider engaging with reality as Russian shilling then what else is there to say to you.
Would that be the same 20% of Ukraine that was in civil war with the rest of Ukraine after the coup in 2014 by any chance? Meanwhile, even western media admits that Putin has massive popular support https://time.com/6977473/putin-opposition-movement-unity/
There may be extenuating circumstances…
Last I checked, Russia held elections, but I guess cancelling the elections aligns closer with western values.

I love how western media lies until it backs you up.
Please do enlighten us what reason you imagine western media has to lie about this. Should be good.
I’m not saying they are or they aren’t.
I’m pointing out your habit of saying Western Media™ is lying, until it supports one of your talking points.
You’ve been posting a lot of reasonable stuff lately, but now here you are shilling for Russia again.

Seeth and cope, little buddy.
20% of Ukraine is currently occupied by a hostile foreign power. 0% of Russia is occupied.
Also, Russian elections give whatever results Putin wants, so the status of the electorate doesn’t really matter in the first place there.
