“He's a dictator. He's declared martial law,” Flynn said.
According to Flynn, Zelenskyy is arresting every person in Ukraine who expresses an opposing point of view, including in the Verkhovna Rada (the Ukrainian parliament).
“If you're in the Rada, you're part of the opposition party, you're probably going to get arrested,” Flynn emphasized.
In February, US President Donald Trump called Zelensky a "dictator without elections," stating that his approval rating had dropped to 4%. In early December, Trump stressed that it was high time for Ukraine to hold presidential elections.
