> Russia’s Supreme Court on Monday upheld the exclusion of liberal opposition party Yabloko from September’s legislative elections, keeping the country’s only explicitly anti-war party off the ballot. Dozens of supporters were detained outside the court amid a wider crackdown on critics of Moscow’s war in Ukraine.
