> Russia’s Supreme Court has barred the liberal Yabloko party from taking part in September’s parliamentary election. Yabloko is described as the country’s only registered party that openly opposes the war in Ukraine. The party says the allegations brought against it are politically motivated and says it will appeal the ruling. Critics contend that the decision further reduces the already narrow room for political dissent in Russia. The case raises questions about the opposition and the approaching vote.
