- Russia's top court barred Yabloko, the country's anti-war party, from parliamentary elections, according to multiple outlets covering the ruling
- Yabloko is described in cross-coverage headlines as the only Russian party opposing the war in Ukraine, making its removal a consolidation of electoral space against anti-war voices
Why it matters: By excluding the last party that opposed the war in Ukraine from the ballot, Russia's top court eliminates the lone electoral option for voters against the conflict, leaving no parliamentary alternative to the Kremlin's war stance.
