Ukraine Political Parties
| On 20 March 2022 Ukraine’s president ordered the suspension of activities of 11 political parties with links to Russia. The largest of them is the Opposition Platform for Life, which has 44 out of 450 seats in Ukraine’s parliament. The party is led by Viktor Medvedchuk, who has friendly ties with Putin, who is the godfather of Medvedchuk’s daughter. Also on the list is the Nashi (Ours) party led by Yevheniy Murayev. "Namely: "Opposition Platform - For Life"; Shariy's Party; Ours; Opposition Bloc; Left Opposition; Union of Left Forces; Derzhava; Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine; Socialist Party of Ukraine; Socialists; Volodymyr Saldo Bloc ". "Given a large-scale war unleashed by the Russian Federation and links between it and some political structures, the activities of a number of political parties [are] suspended for the period of the martial law,” Zelenskyy said, adding that “activities by politicians aimed at discord and collaboration will not succeed.” |
