After Ukraine's draft forced all men 18-60 to register, many Ukrainian journalists began to question their government. Doing so, however, meant risking imprisonment for treason — or being killed.

One journalist, Ruslan Kotsaba, spent 524 days in solitary confinement before facing new charges.

Multiple bloggers, social media influencers, and citizen journalists have also been detained by Ukraine's secret police, the SBU, as Zelenskyy has shut down all news channels except for one, which is regulated by the government.

So why does the U.S. media hail Ukraine as a bastion of free speech?
