Ukraine is not very democratic seeing as they actively persecute the left, lack of political freedom is a fact to consider and that’s largely what’s holding Turkiye back. Anything left-wing is Ukraine is labeled “russian propaganda” by the far-right elites.
EDIT: Apologies, I forgot we are not allowed to bring up anything negative about Ukraine.
You’re engaging in whataboutism, I could maybe understand mentioning Russia and China but why even North Korea?
