This article is so poorly written and devoid of any actual useful information.

Yes I don’t like the content because it’s manipulative and paints a false picture of what is actually happening, the so called “”authoritarian”” he signed is actually to help them integrate into the EU, you dumbass/troll got clickbaited.

It is not surprising to restrict news information during war time.

It's a hyperpolitical war & he's banned the legality of any Political opposition to his rule. I didn't expect another European Hitler arch either, but here we are.

Aren't these laws designed to help them gain membership to the EU, by aligning the laws with EU standards?

Sure. What do you think the EU is?

There is no political reconciliation to be had with people like this? How does anyone meet in the middle of any issue with people who say "HURR DURR EU = HITLER"?

>I also dislike Putin, but he's not laundering billions a month of other's country's money in the name of his tyranny.

No, he's only committing genocide and other war crimes.

>He's at least funding his jaded version of leadership with his own country's revenue.

No he's not.

>Peace negotiations were tabled within 30 days of the conflict. It wasn't Russia that refused peace six or seven times now.

Essentially it was. By refusing to leave, and refusing to give back occupied territory, he's not coming to the table in good faith.

You honestly sound like a Russian troll.

War Crimes on both sides, Ukraine's military action war crimes started in 2014. Amnesty International covered them in detail.

https://www.amnesty.org/en/latest/news/2014/09/ukraine-mounting-evidence-war-crimes-and-russian-involvement/

https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/eur50/040/2014/en/

Yes, he is.

Essentially it was not.

Your blind & ignorant tolerance to propaganda is apparent.

There never needed to be any war. If NATO had allowed Ukraine to simply follow the 2014 Minsk Agreements, but Ukraine had disregarded & collasped them by 2015 at the behest of the Council On Foreign Relations & Threats to withhold funding (Ukraine's govt has long run on other countries money - supposedly)

Again, I have no interest in finding middle ground with stupid people like you, who have not looked into the actions & policies & sources of funding, actions, & policies that brought about & escalated this conflict.

That's not discrimination. From my comment on the other time you linked this article in this thread...

Tl;dr on the article, complaining that Ukraine won't drop Ukrainian language requirements for minority groups nor give them special legislative representation. Some examples are...

  • an independent e.g. Romanian newspaper can't operate out of Ukraine without publishing everything in both Ukrainian and Romanian, and the Ukrainian government won't sponsor the translation for them just so they can meet the requirement
  • a Ukrainian village that happens to be largely e.g. Romanian speaking can't fully convert everything to Romanian without also including Ukrainian, the country's language--even after a local government vote to do so
  • an e.g. Romanian minority group does not get legal priority when considering other legislation, nor gets its own special legislative representation

All this is not quite in the spirit of full proactive support for freedom of speech, but it's a very far cry from anything authoritarian or discriminatory. Replace Romanian with Russian in the examples, and I think the problem with the asks becomes immediately obvious.

“Authoritarian” is a meaningless designation in a vacuum, it can range from 8pm bedtimes for children all the way to ethnic cleansing.

It is reasonable to use government control to help salvage a nation under threat. Pragmatism, not idealism, will save Ukraine.

How so? It is almost new years in my country so I don't have time to do a detailed dive right now. How is this going to cause (ethnically, I assume?) Romanians in Ukraine to suffer? (Also, happy new years homie)

How is it not discriminatory? Also it affects áll kind of minorities within Ukraine, and it is in no way compatible with the EU.

People tend to disregard nuance in these types of situations. A consistent level of critical thinking is never a bad thing.

Keep in mind that real people aren't downvoting you.

Industrial Corporations & military/Intel bureaus pay people to influence social media impact... Both groups maintain or contract employees to run multiple accounts for this & they also have web crawlers & bot farms that help.... Twitter recently had hundreds of millions of accounts purged from their platform for participating in this.... but it's been done slowly over the last decade to all social media. Certainly here.
