For almost 2 years, people have been violently kidnapped from the streets, thanks to this totally non-gangster state, after they loosened the laws (which Zelensky signed, BTW). For example, here (violence warning!) is a yesterday video from Odessa. And we get video like this every day. It's like ICE in US, but much worse because people can't protest against it due to ongoing war.

And recently we had a ton of corruption scandals tied to Zelensky's inner circle. You can just scroll below, someone already linked.

Yep, this is correct. I was more pointing to the mass corruption in Kiev, than Zelensky as a literal mafioso, though of course Zelensky is in on it as well.
