According to President Zelenskiy, eleven Ukrainian political parties have been suspended for the period of martial law as a consequence of their connections to Russia. The aim is, according to Zelenskiy, to limit these politicians’ attempts to divide society. Most of these parties were small, but one of them, the Opposition Platform “For Life”, has 44 seats in the Ukrainian parliament. The leader of the party, the oligarch Viktor Medvedchuk, has close ties to President Putin.
