At least we will only know once the conditions for martial law aren't current anymore. But as you've pointed out, the war would need to end for that to be the case.

Currently we are assuming that Zelenskyy will give up power, if the war ends, or will be forced to. Until that happens Ukraine isn't a Dictatorship.

Certainly. I don’t mean to say that Zelenskyy’s time in office has been without controversy, even after his steadfast response to the war boosted (frankly, saved) his approval. The incident with NABU and SAPO, anti-corruption bodies in Ukraine whose independence was under threat back in July of this year, is a perfect example of this. I think, however, the fact that the government backed down on that in the wake of domestic protests and international backlash is a good indicator that Ukraine isn’t a dictatorship at the moment.
