The Russian Supreme Court has barred the Yabloko Party from the State Duma elections. The party is the only one openly opposing the conflict in Ukraine. The court's decision follows allegations of foreign funding and copyright violations.

The party's lawyer denies the foreign funding claims. The party's candidate has received death threats. The nationalist Rodina Party has also sued to disqualify Yabloko.

The Supreme Court's decision comes amid a broader crackdown on political opposition in Russia. The Yabloko Party's exclusion from the ballot leaves voters with fewer options for expressing dissent. The party's supporters and anti-war activists are now left without a political voice in the upcoming elections.
