He's not a dictator at all as his term does have a guaranteed end, once the war is over. I'm sure he would hold an election if he could, just to prove people like you wrong, but it is illegal for him to do so during wartime as per the Ukrainian constitution, which cannot be amended during wartime either.

The mental gymnastics are crazy.

Sorry Dang <3 Thanks for your hard work!


That's sort of what Trump was subtly trying to get at -- Zelenskyy's political power continues as long as the war continues. If we take the worst interpretation of his character that he is willing to do whatever it takes to hold onto power for as long as possible ... then he has an incentive to sabotage any peace deals.

I personally don't think that's likely, but it is a valid argument depending on how skeptical you are about Zelenskyy's motives.
