💔 The Central Electoral Commission rejected his application and instead he decided to run for mayor of Odesa

🖤 Here are some points from his campaign:

⚡️ to strengthen the Armed Forces of Ukraine (by building an orbital combat space station)

✨ raise salaries and pensions to the cosmic level (the “Bottomless Budget” program)

✨move Chornobyl 60 km further from Kyiv, closer to Belarus (I approve)

✨ recognize the Sith language as the second state language
