MSM Reports Multiply on Zelensky’s Authoritarianism and Kiev Regime’s ‘Dark Side’ – Ukrainian Leader Unleashing ‘Lawfare’ Against Political Opponents

Zelensky is showing his true colors, and the world media does not like what it sees.

For almost four years, now, the MSM has been painting Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelensky as the ‘defender of democracy’, a paragon of all virtue, a born-again Winston Churchill.

But in reality, it’s been long known how Zelensky ruled Ukraine by censoring the press, outlawing opposition parties and extending his mandate way beyond May 2024, when it expired.

And don’t even get us started on the fact that Ukraine is packed with real-life, present-day Nazis.

Of course, this lie could not last forever, and we have been reporting the slow and painful awakening of the Western media to Zelensky’s alleged authoritarianism and corruption.

Back in November 2024, we posted MSM Throws Zelensky Under the Bus, as US Officials Begin Preparing Ukraine for Presidential Election in 2025.

In July, MSM Flips on Zelensky, Starts Reporting on Ukraine Corruption – Kiev Regime Leader Backtracks and Files New Bill Restoring Independence to Anti-graft Agencies.

And lately, these damaging reports have accelerated.

The ‘relentless centralization of authority’ that Zelensky and his powerful head of office (a.k.a. gray eminence) Andriy Yermak are implementing is shocking analysts around the world.

Zelensky and his trusted people are using ‘lawfare’ to intimidate opponents and silence critics.

Take, for example, former President Petro Poroshenko, who was sanctioned and arraigned on corruption charges this year.

Foreign Affairs columnist Jamie Dettmer reported at POLITICO:

“Sanctions have frequently been threatened or used against opponents, effectively freezing assets and blocking the sanctioned person from conducting any financial transactions, including using credit cards or accessing bank accounts.

Poroshenko has since accused Zelenskyy of creeping ‘authoritarianism’, and seeking to ‘remove any competitor from the political landscape’.”

Opponents believe things will only get worse as the country prepares for a possible election next year, with the courts used to ‘clear the field of competitors’.

“Others, including prominent Ukrainian activist and head of the Anti-Corruption Action Center Daria Kaleniuk, argue the president and his coterie are using the war to monopolize power to such a degree that it threatens the country’s democracy.”
