Volodoymyr Zelensky is promoting legislation to continue the state of emergency so he doesn't have to run for re-election again. And it will let him keep all the war powers he's usurped, making him a dictator on a par with Putin.

Now Putin and Zelensky share more than the same first name I=(which means prince in both Russian and Ukrainian).

The state of emergency allows Put, er, Zelensky to suppress freedom of speech and the press, as well as the Russian Orthodox Church. It also gives him the right to draft Ukrainians for military service and a host of other things that tyrants typically lilke. Hitler and the Nazis did the same thing after the Reichstag fire.

Oh, did I mention it bans opposition parties too?

Zelensky doesn't want to end this war; he wants it to wind down but simmer on so he can make himself into Marshall Tito.

"If our partners want elections, let them send money. I will not take money from the war to hold elections.” – Volodymyr Zelensky.

And no doubt he and his henchmen will steal every penny they would receive.
