Zelensky may have been elected president, but the positions of governors are unelected in Ukraine. And the more you look at the ministers and governors in Ukraine, the more you see they are oligarchs or backed by oligarchs from the government immediately post-Maidan. Also as president, Zelensky has outlawed opposition parties and socialist parties. Nothing is binary, Ukraine can have presidential elections and still be undemocratic.
That’s true, but it’s certainly not less democratic than it was pre-Maidan IMO. I do not see evidence for that, at least. You are right, though, it is ofc not a healthy democracy.
