“President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky offered the Ukrainians, as the first question for national polls, which is planned to be held on the day of local elections on October 25, to say whether it is necessary to impose life imprisonment for especially high-level corruption in the country.”
The answer is part of the statement: it is necessary to impose life imprisonment for especially high-level corruption in the country.
I think this question deserves a qualification. Colluding with the enemy, yes. But prosecuting because you disagree with the policy under the guise of corruption, no. I fear Zelensky is trying to eliminate the opposition by statute.
Then, to accomplish this, the imp must also change the definition of corruption.
Agreed, or at least dilute it or expand it. Life in prison?! Didn’t that guy that killed the journo in Kharkiv with the acid just get 4 years?
