ukraine banned all political parties… in ukraine being for peace talks is a crime.

  They did not, there are about 300 political parties registered in Ukraine. They banned a handful of parties with ties to Russia. While I'm queasy about the treatment of this guy, he's a foreigner so why not just deport him, banning parties with explicit ties to your enemy in times of war seems prudent. - Hold that, it appears Lira is actually wanted for sending photos of military gear to Russian intelligence. I don't know how credible that accusation is, but I suppose we'll see.

      I'm talking about the ones that were banned in March 2022 after the start of the invasion. I don't think any were banned before then.

        > Since 16 December 2015 three communist parties are banned in Ukraine (the Communist Party of Ukraine, Communist Party of Ukraine (renewed) and Communist Party of Workers and Peasants). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decommunization_in_Ukraine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decommunization_in_Ukraine
