has ended. Yes, May 20, 2024 marks the day Elensky presidential term expires. Why wasn't there a new election held as a prove of his mandate in fighting the war? Of couse you know election is held in war time only when the incumbent is winning the war, not when losing ground, literally.
In contrast, Putin confidently inaugurated after winning the 2024 Russian election.
An election is not desirable when losing war, because you also lose popularity as a result. Elensky's popularity has fallen from 90% in Feb 2022 to 32.5% in Mar 2024. He's very wary of Zaluzhny, who has 67.5% popularity. Elensky not only sacked Zaluzhny in Feb, but also put him in house arrest. Words are Zaluzhny has been sent to UK as "ambassador", to keep him away from Ukraine though this can't be confirmed.
And because the war is going south, Ukraine is being forced to enact a new full mobilization law by the West, widely unpopular among Ukrainian. If the Ukraine don't do so, they won't get the $61 billion aid, I mean loan. Ukraine new full mobilization law is now in effect as Elensky dodge election. You don't want to go to poll when you full mobilize your voters to go to the front line.
On the day the mobilization law kick into effect, the street of Ukraine cities are relatively empty. People are staying in door to watch out. It's said many people left the city for the country side.
Street of tourist city of Odessa are empty as people shun the mobilization gangs.
Trucker protest full mobilization in Kyiv highway in Odesa.
From the Westen politician pov, Ukrainian are merely cheap commodity, it's an extremely good deal for money to fight to the last Ukranian.
Yes, decimating a whole Ukrainian generation is extremely good deal for the West.
But Russia is getting stronger than 2022, a whole generation of Ukrainian are sacrificed for what?
Full mobilization is needed because of acute solder shortage, though there's no lack of draft dodgers.
The EU are told to repatriate the Ukrainian draft dodgers. Poland and Lithuania are particularly keen to help repatriate Ukrainian young men back.
Draft dodgers abroad are under pressure by Kyiv to be repatriated. For example, in Poland they won't be able to find work, or using banking service etc.
Whether your children will be sent to the front line or party abroad depending on how rich you're.
Mobilizing women is not a news. Not even sending pregnant women to the front line is news. There're a number of signs to tell that Ukraine is losing the war, scrap election, full mobilization, and sending pregnant women to the front line are among them.
Women are "encouraged" to fight in the front line with their husband, "reuniting" the family, so they claimed.
Fighting as a family. It's all right. Don't cry. Live on. Everything will get better. Attention! Take them to the truck!
As Bojo said, the true purpose of the proxy war is to save Western hegemony.
Elensky having second thought about the westen cheerleaders true intention? Frankly it's too late and he can't decide matter on his own.
May 20, 2024, Elensky's official presidential term may have ended, but Asia's Lailensky presidential term has just started. He's already fully motivated to be a Western proxy, giving an unprecedented TI speech. Let's see if he would be helding an election in 2028.
