Russia Supreme Court Bars Sole Anti-War Party Yabloko From September Elections

Russia's Supreme Court ruled on Monday to ban Yabloko, the country's only anti-war political party, from participating in upcoming elections. The party has been barred from contesting the parliamentary elections scheduled for September. Yabloko was the sole political party in Russia openly opposed to the war. The court's decision effectively removes the last formal anti-war voice from the country's electoral process.
