Tbf they’ve also interfered in Western European elections at a national/state level (mostly the two big ones of France and Germany), though of course in that case, those countries are in the EU (as is Poland), so it’s a bit more… “Expected” or “palatable”…
I’m not so sure about the case of Zelenskyy. You could argue that they’ve kept him in power, but in terms of him getting into power in the first place… It did seem fairly organic. Of the candidates at play in that particular election, I’m not sure the EU would have chosen him. But honestly, who knows?
That feels like a very long time ago, at this point, given everything that has happened in that region since then…
But yeah, I do absolutely think he should step down at some point, ideally once martial law is over, and then we can start looking into all that more seriously…

But we shall see what happens, I guess.
