Zelensky’s Court Bans Another Ukrainian Opposition Party, Bringing the Total Number of Outlawed Political Groups to 15

A Ukrainian court on Tuesday (July 5) banned the country’s Communist Party (CPU), marking the end of an eight-year saga, and adding the communists to the blacklist of now 15 allegedly ‘pro-Russian’ political movements that are outlawed in Ukraine.

The Eighth Administrative Court of Appeal in the western city of Lviv announced that “the activities of the Communist Party of Ukraine are prohibited.”

“Funds and other assets” of the party will be nationalized.

Attempts to ban the party started in 2014, when the acting president at the time, Aleksandr Turchinov, ordered a review into the CPU’s activities. He did not rule out the possibility of banning it over its alleged involvement in protests in the eastern parts of the country after the violent Western-backed coup in Kiev overthrew the democratically-elected government.
