International alliances

A pro-Russian and Eurosceptic political party in Ukraine banned after the 2022 Russian invasion.

The party was the successor of For Life formerly All-Ukrainian Union "Center" from 1999 to 2016, a small pro-Russian political party. It was registered in December 1999. In the 2019 Ukrainian parliamentary election, the party won 37 seats on the nationwide party list and six constituency seats. Although it espoused pro-Russian policies, the party publicly denounced the Russian invasion of Ukraine on 8 March 2022.

On 20 March 2022, its activities were suspended by the National Security and Defense Council for the period of martial law due to allegations of having ties to Russia made by the Council. On 14 April, the party's parliamentary group was dissolved in Ukraine's parliament. On 21 April, twenty-five of the party's former deputies formed a new parliamentary group called Platform for Life and Peace. On 20 June, the party was banned by court. On 15 September 2022, the final appeal against this ban was dismissed by the Supreme Court of Ukraine.[
