> Russian platform VK Video interrupted Yabloko’s “Peaceful Stream” fundraising broadcast with party chairman Nikolai Rybakov. The reason remains unknown, and Yabloko continued on YouTube. The donation counter showed nearly 542,000 rubles raised toward a 2 million-ruble goal. The party’s candidate lists have been removed from ballots in four regions, while two more election commissions refused registration.
