How are the Ukrainians supposed to hold free and fair elections with international observers when 20% of their territory is illegally occupied by genocidal, murdering ruzzian psychopaths intent on killing all Ukrainians, destroying Ukrainian language and culture and lobbing massive cruise and ballistic missile attacks against EVERY MAJOR UKRAINIAN CITY? The ruzzians target any gathering of Ukrainians they can - especially civilians.
That's why the ruzzians were BANNED from the UN Human Rights council in 2022, and in 2023 were not allowed back. That's why virtually every single civilized free country in the world is backing Ukraine. That's why ruzzia's only open military allies are North Korea and Iran. That's why the International Criminal Court (i.e. The Hague) has issued an arrest warrant for putin for the crime against humanity of genocide - specifically, the one INDEFENSIBLE charge of kidnapping Ukrainian children by the tens of thousands, taking them to ruzzia and sending them to "re-programming" centers. Putin cannot set foot in over 120 countries or he'll be arrested immediately for the war criminal he is.
Here are some examples:
In Mariopul (a city founded, ironically, as a result of yet another ruzzian invasion of Ukraine in the 18th century), on the 16th of March, 2022, hundreds, if not thousands of people, many of them children sought shelter from a ruzzian attack in the city's theater. They even wrote the word "Children" in front and behind the theater in giant ruzzian letters. The ruzzians bombed it anyway, killing over 600 people, many of them children.

This is what ruzzians do. Here's a good article on the incident:

What ruzzians did to Bakhmut:
There are literally THOUSANDS of examples like this. The Ukrainians want to live free and peacefully. The ruzzians are animals. This is the largest land war since WWII. Ukraine is the largest country entirely in Europe - it's not some small 'stan that no one's ever heard of. And this isn't the first time the ruzzians have tried to exterminate Ukraine throughout history. In the 1930s, in order to get Ukraine to heel under the ruzzian/soviet boot, the ruzzians forcibly starved MILLIONS of Ukrainians in an act of genocide called The Holodomor - google it. The ruzzians took my grandfather's farm (he was a successful farmer with a large farm in western Ukraine) by force.
This is what ruzzians did then:
Ukrainians would rather die than be subjected to ruzzia's horrors again. Not only is supplying Ukraine with what they need to win the right, human thing to do, the US is obligated, in writing, to give Ukraine what it needs to fight off ruzzia under the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, wherein the US promised to protect Ukraine's sovereignty and borders in exchange for Ukraine giving up the THIRD LARGEST NUCLEAR ARSENAL IN THE WORLD. ruzzia also signed the Memorandum, but we know what their word is worth.
By the way - while we're on the subject of freedom, a ruzzian girl drew an anti-war drawing at school:
Her father, Alexei Moskalyov, was sentenced to 2 years in a penal colony for HIS DAUGHTER'S DRAWING! Putin has also had the ruzzian constitution changed allowing him to stay in power effectively forever.
No sane, informed person could possibly not support Ukraine in their fight against the ruzzian onslaught.
