     @LunaDragofelis his term officially expired i think a year or two ago now, and ukraines haven't been given the opportunity to decide if they still believe in his leadership :cat_sad:
     
     considering how many have fled i don't suspect many do.

     @icedquinn @LunaDragofelis they fled because of a fucking war not the president dumbass. he continues to have quite high approval ratings and if you talk to ukrainians you quickly see how true that is they love him
     that said iirc he had rather low before the war and he's not so appreciated in civic society

     @Linux_Is_Best @LunaDragofelis @breadcat @maija many chancellors and nations have also used similar provisions to remain eternally at war and thus literally become permanent dictatorships.
     
     i'm not asking for legalities i'm asking for how someone who cannot be voted out and answers to nobody is not a dictator

     And many republics also have laws that say, if the country is actively defending itself from being invaded, elections are suspended. It is important to note that Ukraine's own government (their congress) suspended the elections.

     The world is not purely black and white, but a lot of gray, and you have to judge these things on a case by case basis.
     
     Ukraine's own government (their version of a congress) suspended the elections because they were being invaded, and still are being invaded. That does not make someone a dictator, it means their term has been extended, legally, due to circumstances outside the control of Ukraine.
