This is the "democracy" we are spending tens of billions to defend and dealing with all sorts of shortages for so we can sanction Russia.

"KYIV -- A court in Kyiv has banned the pro-Russian Opposition Platform -- For Life (OPZZh) political party led by jailed Kremlin-friendly politician Viktor Medvedchuk.
The Justice Ministry issued a statement after the Administrative Court of Appeals No. 8 handed down the decision on June 20, saying that the party's property and assets will be confiscated by the State Treasury."
So basically, if you disagree with the obviously corrupt Ukraine government in charge (that was helped into power by US and western globalist allies) and are instead in favor of closer ties to Russia instead, you aren't allow to make the case to the people, especially the Russian speaking people in the east that are being badly mistreated. You are jailed, your political party is banned, your TV stations are eliminated, and your assets are confiscated.
Actually it all makes sense. This is the path the democrats are on in the US with a dominant position in media and social media tech companies. It's our way or you are barred and your career destroyed.
