Exiled Russian opposition figure Ilya Yashin launches new party in Berlin
Exiled Russian opposition figure Ilya Yashin has launched a new political party in Berlin, aiming to unite anti-Kremlin forces abroad and oppose the war in Ukraine. The founding congress is set for June 12-13.
Russian opposition figure Ilya Yashin, who recently left Russia after his release from prison, has initiated the creation of a new political party designed to unite anti-Kremlin factions in exile. The party's founding congress is set to convene in Berlin on June 12 and 13. Yashin articulated that the project aims to "send a clear signal to civil society" expressing opposition to the Kremlin's ongoing war in Ukraine. While established abroad, the liberal opposition leader's ultimate goal is to foster political change within Russia. This initiative seeks to consolidate various Russian opposition groups operating outside the country.
