World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

A lot of Ukrainians have also fled the country, it makes no sense to organize this before ending the war. Why do we have to have this discussion? They are at war, marshal law is common during times of war to keep your country unified during these periods. Not everyone is fortunate enough to have vast oceans between them and their adversaries to allow for elections of their highest office to continue uninterrupted.
Because this isn't about fair elections, it's about getting a puppet government in charge who will just end the war freely by bending over for Russia. As if Putin and Trump actually care about fair elections... absolute clown show.
Right, and the puppet in charge will be rather obvious. The only other candidate that would win in a fair Ukrainian election is even more aggressive about opposing Russia than Zelenskyy, but since this is going to be rigged neither of those will win.
lies
Point them out, specifically.
Get fucked, fascist, they don't hold elections during martial law, which has been in effect since your fellow fascists invaded.
LOL see, you can't find it, cause it's not in their constitution.
And you should treally stop projecting.
The fascists are slightly different red and blue MAGA fascists and racists, continuously attacking, invading and stealing from poor countries and the Banderite ones you support in ex-ukranus.
Looks like you lost in both cases, lol enjoy seething and crying about it.
Your banana republic provides top entertainment to us civilised European countries.
Again, simply fascinating, essentially "no U!" 🤣
Russia doesn't attack civilians and elections are easy to hold while being invaded. Please, tell us more, comrade!
comrade? really?
Sad cringe americunt loser
Oh ouch, please stop, your clever wit is just too much to take, I fear I just can't go on living in a world where the likes of you think as you do about me.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_law_in_Ukraine "The Constitution of Ukraine allows for some specific restrictions on rights and freedoms when the state of martial law is in effect.[10] The Constitution explicitly extends the five-year authority of the Verkhovna Rada (the national parliament of Ukraine) in the state of martial law until the first meeting of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine of the next parliamentary term, elected after the cancellation of the state of martial law.[11] Scholars have stated that the Ukrainian constitution does not hold national elections while martial law is in effect.[12] The 2023 Ukrainian parliamentary election were not held and the 2024 Ukrainian presidential election also did not take place on its scheduled date of 31 March 2024.[13][12]"
I am not posting this for @bloomcole, as that guy is a pathetic troll. But posting for others uses of this site.
@bloomcole will thank you anyway since you've proven that he is right. Verkhovna Rada (the national parliament of Ukraine) is NOT THE PRESIDENT.
As always, the Banderite coup defenders demonstrably LIE I rest my case loser
@bloomcole will surely thank this info, as stated by @bloomcole himself.
This is just sad
Yes, let's clear that up - it was a law, not the constitution.
Constitution, article 83(4) - extends the Parliament's powers until martial law is over. Also allows for the possibility of martial law, says that under martial law, some rights may be restricted.
Ordinary law, "On the Legal Regime of Martial Law" - forbids elections during martial law.
So, holding elections in Ukraine during war is merely illegal. And I repeat - with 20% of the country occupied, and millions in emigration, very hard. If you hold a public meeting with your voters and a ballistic missile arrives, then what?
But since you consider them "banderite coup defenders", you clearly take your clues from Moscow-based sources - why concern yourself with technicalities in law? The Kremlin does not concern itself with law, international, Ukraininan or Russian for that matter - it does what it wants. And you're verbally supporting that.
Yes, an Estonian anarchist named "perestroika". You can read my blog at: http://perestroika.pw/ to see if I'm a nazi russophobe.
Can I do a background check in return? :)
Oh, you only registered 3 days ago, likely because you got your previous account banned by pushing Kremlin talking points.
