Russia’s parliamentary race loses antiwar party that attracted young volunteers ‘because they don’t want to be killed’ in Ukraine, chairman said

Russia’s Supreme Court has ruled to remove the Yabloko party from the State Duma ballot, granting a lawsuit brought by the Rodina party. The ruling came after Nikolai Rybakov, Yabloko’s chairman, delivered a closing argument urging the court to dismiss Rodina’s lawsuit entirely.
