Security Service of #Ukraine has captured leader of largest opposition party. He was previously charged with state treason & fled from house arrest shortly before #Russian invasion. #Zelensky banned this & 10 other opposition parties for "links" to #Russia pravda.com.ua/news/2022/04/1…
Various opposition politicians, journalists, bloggers, and political commentators were arrested on state treason, collaboration with #Russia or similar charges in #Ukraine after #Russian invasion.

Ex-president Poroshenko was charged before #Russian invasion in the same state treason case as #Medvedchuk. They were accused by #Zelensky on trumped-up state treason charges for buying coal from separatist-controlled #Donbas & thereby financing terrorism in #Ukraine
My research shows that #Zelensky uses #RussianUkrainianWar to consolidate his largely undemocratic rule in #Ukraine

Contrary to narratives promoted by Western politicians & media, #Zelensky is not liberal democrat but authoritarian politician. He turned #Ukraine again into largely undemocratic state after brief period of semi-democracy following his election victory.

#Zelensky proposed #Russia to exchange #Medvedchuk for #Ukrainian POWs after mass surrender of marines in #Mariupol which is besieged by #Russian & #Donbas separatist forces. Russian government publicly refused.

Comparative politics: Denial & justification of mass killings in #Bucha, #maidan & #Odesa in #Ukraine & opposite reaction to these crimes by many politicians, media & self-proclaimed experts reveal that partisan politics trumps concerns about human rights, justice & #Ukrainians
There is evidence from various sources, such as videos, satellite photos & testimonies of eyewitnesses, suggesting that #Russian forces committed #WarCrimes by killing dozens civilians during #RussianUkraineWar in #Bucha in #Ukraine
