I would really like to see NATO clarify that they don't want to be supporting Zelenskyy if he's just going to turn Ukraine into a dictatorship. I get wanting to present a united front, but there's a difference between a united front and suppressing all disagreement. Ukraine will hopefully in the future reunite including the Donbass and Crimea, but that will need a strongly pluralistic government. This is not encouraging.

Dictatorships are precisely what NATO builds around the world because they're much more pliable than democracies.

Nah, Donbass and Crimea are good out of Ukraine.
