The Administrative Court of Cassation as part of the Supreme Court of Ukraine rejected the appeal of the "Opposition Platform — For Life" (OPZZh). The decision to ban the party is final and cannot be appealed.
This was reported to the Security Service of Ukraine.
The SBU also noted that since the beginning of the full-scale war, pre-trial investigations have been ongoing in 70 criminal cases against OPZZh officials involved in crimes in the field of national security. As part of these proceedings, 30 citizens of Ukraine, including deputies of local councils at various levels, were charged with suspicion.
- On March 20, President Volodymyr Zelenskyi signed the decision of the National Security Council suspending the activities of 11 pro-Russian political parties for the duration of the war: OPZZh, "Opposition Bloc", Shariyʼs Party, "Nashi" and others.
- Subsequently, these and similar parties began to ban courts. In June, the Minister of Justice Denys Malyuska reported that the court had banned OPZZh on the basis of SBU materials.
- On July 17, OPZZh challenged the ban on its activities in court.
