THE Communist Party of Ukraine (KPU) was permanently banned today after a Lviv court ruling which turned over all its assets, including party buildings and funds, to the state.
In a statement the Eighth Administrative Appeal Court said that it had satisfied the claims of the Ministry of Justice of Ukraine and ordered the party’s closure.
“The activity of the Communist Party of Ukraine is prohibited; the property, funds and other assets of the party, its regional, city, district organisations, primary centres and other structural entities have been transferred to the state,” the court reported.
