"President Donald Trump enraged Ukraine’s usual band of cheerleaders in
the United States and Europe when he called Volodymyr Zelensky a
dictator. Their reaction was similar to the sputtering outrage that
townspeople directed at the boy who dared insist that the emperor had no
clothes...

Zelensky’s fans to ignore his government’s other numerous,
anti-democratic outrages. But remaining in office after the expiration
of his term is among the least of Zelensky’s offenses...

Under his rule, the Ukrainian government has outlawed nearly a dozen
opposition parties, stifled the press, launched a campaign against
uncooperative churches, and has conducted a program of arbitrary
imprisonment, torture, and assassination...

Much of that authoritarian behavior was evident even before the February

In Freedom House’s 2022 report, Ukraine was listed in the “partly free”
category, scoring 61 points out of a possible 100. Human Rights Watch’s
2021 report on Ukraine also was far from favorable, citing various
abuses by government forces, “including arbitrary detentions, torture or
ill-treatment.” Journalists and media workers “faced harassment and
threats connected to their reporting.”...

Freedom House’s 2024 report confirmed that the record of Ukraine’s
government has become even worse...

The country remained in the “partly free” category, but its overall
score declined to 49 from 61 in 2022...

Ratings for political rights and civil liberties declined even more,

Moreover, the tepid evaluation came from an organization that is

If the “partly free” rating is the best Ukraine could muster from an
exceedingly friendly source, one can imagine what a more neutral party
would conclude...

An article in the Economist confirmed the possible extent of the

It described Kiev’s systematic assassination program in considerable
detail. Targets “have been shot, blown up, hanged and even, on occasion,
poisoned with doctored brandy.” Such behavior did not begin as a
response to Russia’s February 2022 invasion...

Assassinations date back to at least 2015, when Ukraine’s domestic
security service (SBU) “created a new body after Russia had seized
Crimea and the eastern Donbas region. The elite fifth
counter-intelligence directorate started life as a saboteur force in
response to the invasion...

It later came to focus on what is euphemistically called ‘wet work’.”...
