It must be so difficult seeing Trump destroy your country. Each news story is more shocking than the last. But, don't lose hope. Trump is weak. Progressives must put aside their differences and stick together. Together you are strong enough to defeat him and build something even better than before.

I think Ukrainians protested because the independence of NABU and SAPO is one of the few checks on the power of Zelensky's government during the state of emergency. They are fighting two wars. One against Russia and one against Russia's legacy: corruption. Hopefully, the new law provides balance.
Erik Henriksen 🇨🇦 (@groovomata.bsky.social) reply parent
It's well understood that corruption is a problem in Ukraine. But to assert that Russia isn't trying to undermine Ukrainian institutions is wrong. Also, Ukrainians say they support Zelensky but we're against weakening NABU and SAPO as one of the few remaining checks on the government.
