The President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky recently announced that during the current martial law, the activities of at least 11 political parties in his country have been suspended due to their ties to the Russian Federation.
In a video published on the Ukrainian Presidency’s website, Zelentsky reported that the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine decided to suspend the activities of at least 11 political groups, including: Opposition Platform For Life, Sharia Party, Our, Opposition Bloc, Left Opposition, Union of Left Forces, State, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party, Socialists and Vladimir Saldos Bloc, among others.
“Any activity of various political parties will be suspended during martial law,” which was imposed on the same day that the Russian military operation began on Feb. 24, Zelenskyy argued.
The Justice Department was instructed to “immediately take comprehensive measures to ban the activities of these political parties in the prescribed manner,” it added.
The President of Ukraine, chairman and founder of the Servant of the People party, stated that “now everyone must take care of the interests of our state”.
“I would like to remind all politicians in all fields: wartime shows very clearly the lack of personal ambition of those who try to put their own ambitions, their own party or career above the interests of the state, the interests of the people,” he said Ruler.
Any activity by politicians “aimed at secession or collaboration will not succeed but will provoke difficult reactions,” he warned.
