Russia has barred the Yabloko party, the only party opposing the war in Ukraine, from participating in the parliamentary vote, according to Al Jazeera. This decision was made by a Russian court, as reported by multiple sources. The move has significant implications for the country's political landscape.
The Russian Supreme Court made the ruling, banning Yabloko from standing in the State Duma elections, as reported by The Moscow Times. BBC News and Deutsche Welle also confirmed the ban, with the latter noting that it was the top court that made the decision. The specific reasons for the ban were not detailed in the available sources.
This move is significant as Yabloko is the only party that has been openly opposing the war in Ukraine, making its exclusion from the parliamentary vote a notable development in Russia's political climate.
