==Opposition parties outlawed==
In a March 19, 2022 [[executive order]], Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky invoked martial law to ban 11 opposition parties. Max Blumenthal and Esha Krishnaswamy characterized the outlawed parties as "the entire [[left-wing]], [[socialist]], or anti-[[NATO]] spectrum in Ukraine." They included the For Life Party, the Left Opposition, the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Union of Left Forces, Socialists, the Party of Shariy, Ours, State, Opposition Bloc and the Volodymyr Saldo Bloc. Openly [[fascist]] and pro-Nazi parties like the [[Azov National Corps]] were left untouched by the presidential decree, however.
