I was under the impression that he declared war on brown people with no fucking plan whatsoever because he's racist, under the false impression that being at war means he can stay in office no matter what (despite his entire life being filled with counterexamples), and him trying to distract from his close ties with and probable crimes as a child rapist.

I actually don't know how it could be worse

Yeah, Zelensky banned opposition parties and suspended elections, justifying it with the war, so objectively the war is the only thing that keeps him in the office as his term is long gone.

Whether you like him or agree with his cause is irrelevant.
