What the World Can Learn From Ukraine’s Fight for Democracy | Olesya Khromeychuk | TED

What has happened in Ukraine between 2014 and 2020 in a direct insult towards democracy and moral values as a whole. TED should find an actual historian, and not a propagandist to tell the stories of those tens of thousands dead and tortured civilians.

Before taking her words for granted, just seek some facts in Oliver Stone’s: ukraine on fire… documentary.

How do you circle back and explain that Zelensky has cancelled elections (“vote/voice”)?
@1midnightfish
February 20, 2024 at 7:20 pm
The Ukrainian constitution forbids holding elections under martial law. Ukraine has been under martial law for the past two years because, if you haven’t noticed, it has been invaded by a much larger country intent on wiping if off the face of the Earth.
Besides, millions of Ukrainians are living under occupation or have been abducted and deported, while millions more have been forced to move abroad and would only be able to vote electronically. It would be Ukraine’s first online election, which would be a challenge for a country at peace, let alone for one fighting off a genocidal invader that happens to be very skilled at cyberhacking. So it wouldn’t be a free and fair election, and Ukraine is demonstrating it is a democracy by *postponing* the election until it can be carried out properly. A show election is what dictatorships do.

I’ve been lucky to hear this woman speak several times and exchange a few words with her. Recently I read her book, The Death of a Soldier Told by His Sister, and I highly recommend it. One of the points she touches on in this talk is developed in her brilliant article Why the West underestimated Ukraine, published in December 2022 in the New Statesman (it looks like there’s a paywall but it’s free to access – I’d post the link but YT doesn’t seem to like people doing that).

It was a wonderful speech. The moment with the voice is especially important. The voice is the most important thing we have. There are a lot of russian trolls in the comments who are making nonsense. As a Ukrainian, I find funny to read this. But I wonder how foreigners react to such nonsense. Obviously, these trolls are not aimed at me, because my reaction when I read the comments “Selensky imprisoned the opposition and canceled the elections” was something like this 🥴. But this is how I react because I live in Ukraine, what about people who are far from Ukraine and read this. Even if they are skeptical, these messages that russian propaganda puts in their heads remain in their minds. That’s why Ukrainian voices are so important, to reconstruct russian propaganda, to make people closer to Ukraine, so that they recognize for themselves that what trolls (and not only trolls) say is nonsense.
