Russia's Supreme Court Bars Anti-War Yabloko Party From September Elections
Russia's Supreme Court has barred Yabloko, the country's only registered anti-war party, from participating in the September parliamentary elections. The ruling upheld a suit by the pro-Kremlin nationalist Rodina party, which accused Yabloko of undeclared foreign funding. Yabloko leader Nikolay Rybakov vowed to appeal, emphasizing the party's commitment to peace and opposition to the ongoing war in Ukraine. The decision removes the last official electoral option for voters opposing the conflict amid a broader crackdown on dissent.
