And it's not the same as this speech to Switzerland, which strangely skips the ban part. Weird huh?

Suck my ass, Ukraine. If America tells you someone if the "good guy" you should immediately assume they are in fact a piece of shit.

Spread this shit around.

And this isn't supporting Russia. This is just showing that any "leftist" should not be supporting Ukraine as well.

      Well, Poroshenko's center-right party is technically opposition and it hasn't been banned.

        It's to the right of Zelensky's party though isn't it? They don't seem like opposition, they seem more like collaborators that just want things harder.

          Fun fact Poroshenko wanted Zelensky to get a drug test done before a debate, and Zelensky refused to get it done with him, instead opting to do the drug test at a private clinic. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/apr/05/ukraine-president-takes-up-comedians-drug-test-challenge

          Reading about both of these guys is pretty wild, not very based neither on the politics nor the corruption or personal problems.

          Ukraine’s presidential candidates have both submitted to drug tests as the country’s elections increasingly resemble a political circus in the final weeks of the campaign.

          You're right. That's why I used the word technically.
