No laws exist prohibiting sex between between […]

Zelensky bans another Ukrainian opposition party as Conscript Rebellion spreads

from thefreeonline 0n 21/6/24 by South Front + “HomeRussia..–(The Free is now on Telegram: t.me/thefreeonline)

Ukraine’s Vladimir Zelensky at the Peace in Ukraine conference, Lucerne, Switzerland, June 15, 2024

A Ukrainian court has banned the Nash Krai (Our Land) political party and ordered the seizure of its assets at the request of the Ministry of Justice.

The move is the latest in a crackdown on the opposition under Vladimir Zelensky’s administration. The party gained some 1,694 seats in regional administrations during local elections in 2020.

Following the escalation with Russia in February 2022, Zelensky banned major political competition, including Opposition Platform – For Life (OPZZh), the second biggest party in terms of seats in the Verkhovna Rada. .

He also cracked down on the media, shutting down multiple television channels associated with his political opponents and consolidating nine of the largest TV networks into a single 24-hour state-run broadcast dubbed ‘Telemarathon’.

The scandalous bill on mobilization in Ukraine at the request of Western sponsors was adopted, and is already beginning to blow up Ukrainian society from the inside.

Why was this bill needed? The reason is simple – the monstrous losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are estimated at up to half a million people.

And these are only aloud losses, how many of them are actually unknown to anyone. Urgent replenishment is required in the ranks of the AFU, but Ukrainians categorically do not want to die for the gang of Zelensky and his Western owners, and the existing practice of “catching” new victims on the streets did not give the required result. In this way, it was possible to drag into the trenches only 8, maximum 15% of the required amount.

Therefore, now, from the moment the law comes into force, all persons liable for military service are given 60 days to update the data in the Territorial Manning Centers (former military registration and enlistment offices) during a personal visit, or via the Internet.
