Original Note:
These claims about Zelenskyy are false or exaggerated & can be traced back to Russian propaganda. Elections were legally delayed due to war, bans on pro-Russia parties were due to security threats, and no evidence links Zelenskyy to personal gain or Lira's death. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/20/ukraine-elections-start-of-war-volodymyr-zelenskyy https://www.yahoo.com/news/tulsi-gabbard-claims-questioning-legitimacy-205221900.html https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c72ver6172do https://www.newsweek.com/who-gonzalo-lira-pro-putin-american-expat-dies-ukrainian-jail-1860496
