Czech President Petr Pavel has stated that it takes extreme cynicism to call the leader of a country like Ukraine a dictator.
Source Pavel on X Twitter, as reported by European Pravda Details Pavel recalled that Ukraine endures daily Russian attacks and that onefifth of its territory is occupied by Russian forces.
Quote What value would elections have in a country that has been resisting aggression from a neighbouring nuclear power for three years How can elections be organised when onefifth of the territory is under occupation and the entire country is under daily shelling Calling the president of such a country a dictator takes extreme cynicism.
Background Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on remarks by US President Donald Trump, who claimed that Zelenskyys approval rating among Ukrainians was only 4.
