It seems that, according to some users here, US army colonel Douglas Macgregor, who talks about a possible takeover of western Ukraine by Poland, is also a Russian propagandist.

Retired colonel.

That's how freedom of speech works in the real world. Putin shills like him are allowed to say things. They don't speak for the US government or US military though.

You call a "democratically elected government" what was elected

Exactly. The rest of the straw man nonsense doesn't change that fact. Putin calling it a "coup" doesn't make it so. Corruption unfortunately exists in democratic countries but at least there are tools to fight it. War time restrictions of freedom are unfortunate, however that's happening as a result of invasion, not because Zelensky woke up one day and decided to be a dictator for the next 22 years.

Ukraine pulled off the March 31 election with no major hitch. Voting and ballot-counting proceeded smoothly. The Central Election Commission’s vote tallies corresponded with exit poll results and a non-governmental parallel count. The International Election Observer Mission (IEOM) released a preliminary assessment that noted some problems but termed the election competitive, reported that candidates campaigned freely, and said that the electorate had a broad choice.



Why are you spreading unsubstantiated rumors about Mariupol? There are two videos on May 14 and May 15, and neither fires nor floods are visible there.

Are you serious? How does this make what I said not true? Do these videos cover the entire city? You used to have a decent understanding of how "proof" works, apparently not anymore.

Here is one that shows a fire as a result of turning power on in a damaged building: https://t.me/andriyshTime/892

There are others, can't be bothered to search again for it. You should really do it yourself, you're the one who should be trying to challenge your own obviously wrong preconceived image of what the invaders are doing in Ukraine.
