Russia's Supreme Court Bars Anti-War Yabloko Party From Parliamentary Elections
Russia's Supreme Court barred the anti-war party Yabloko from participating in the upcoming parliamentary elections, upholding a suit by the pro-Kremlin Motherland Party. Yabloko, the only registered party opposing Russia's military actions in Ukraine, plans to appeal the decision. The ruling removes a key liberal opposition voice amid a broader crackdown on dissent, with Yabloko's leaders and supporters emphasizing their commitment to peace and political dialogue despite limited electoral support.
