Free countries don't cancel elections indefinitely.
No matter how much you complain about Putin and Russia and no matter how much propaganda you spew it doesn't change the fact this current Ukraine regime is done for. There will be new and much better and more improved Ukraine soon, not one that cuts of fresh water to their supposed country men.

Ukraine is a lot of things, but free and independent it is not.
The absurd idea that Russia will invade Europe after not being able to conquer Ukraine after 2+ years the dumbest BS being pushed in the whole war.
Just because you want to believe a country isn't free to choose who it sides with doesn't make it so....
It's because of the support of the west that Russia was unable to walk all over Ukraine, if it had then Russia's approach to other ex-soviet countries would be very different.

Try asking some average Ukrainians. I have.
They might tend to disagree with you. Quite a lot.
And was the west's support worth the tens of thousands of deaths in Ukraine and destroyed cities just to keep Zelenskyy in power for a couple more years and to allow the Ukrainian Nationalists/Nazis to continue operating their Battalion and raging war on the citizens in the East for a couple more years? Had the west not intervened life in Ukraine would have been back to normal a long long time ago

Oh?
The US has been engaged in wars for most of the last hundred years. When was the last time we suspended elections?

I'm aware that russia continues to push forward. But even if they eventually take Kiev, they will have still lost. Their status as some overwhelming military power is absolutely gone at this point. The current sanctions will be around permanently and Ukraine will fight against any russian occupiers for generations to come. Russia probably can't afford to rebuild Ukraine, so their prize won't have nearly as much value as they anticipated. They've erased any good will that may have developed for russia in the past and now, being surrounded by NATO, any further military ambitions putin may have will be dealt with swiftly.

I don't care.
I just want to stop sending foreign countries our citizens money.
