I’m not parroting Russian propaganda. My points come from fact:
1. Zelenskyy cancelled elections: Fact. Martial law, extended to May 9, 2025, bans elections under Ukraine’s own law, Article 19, "On the Legal Regime of Martial Law." The 2024 vote didn’t happen.

Russia spins it, sure, but it’s not their invention, it’s what Zelenskyy did.
2. Government as a Western puppet: Not a conspiracy, US influence is real. CIA’s had bases in Ukraine since 2014.
New York Times

and the 2014 Maidan got a US nudge, leaked Victoria Nuland calls prove it.

Zelenskyy’s 2019 win was legit.

but Western sway has always been heavy.
3. Pulling the world into WWIII: My opinion, based on his moves. He’s shoving Ukraine into NATO, check his “victory plan”

Begging for weapons and intervention

Russia says that’s war.

and his recent White House display, warning that the US would “feel” it, was not a good move.

I see it as risking WWIII, not wanting it. Trump agrees, he called it a gamble.
These aren’t Russian scripts, they’re Zelenskyy’s actions, sourced and clear. Russia might amplify some, but the roots are in reality, not spin.
