The Nash Krai political party has decided to dissolve itself in an extraordinary congress, explaining that it has suffered "critical reputational damage."

This became known from the party's statement.

The statement says that the Supreme Court of Ukraine recognized the party's pro-Ukrainian position. However, according to the party, it suffered reputational damage. The party noted that it had defended its right to operate in courts of all instances.

"Nash Krai" is a political party in Ukraine, created mainly from members of the previously banned pro-Russian Party of Regions. It was officially registered in 2011 under the name "Bloc Party", but three years later it was renamed "Nash Krai". The leaders of the party were Anton Kissé, Serhiy Shakhov and Oleksandr Mazurchak.

In particular, Nash Krai claims that from the first days of Russia's full-scale invasion, 926 party members volunteered for the front, and in the 10 years of its existence, there was "not a single statement in favor of Russia.

"It is unacceptable for a few traitors or collaborators to cast a shadow of distrust on the entire organization to which they belonged. Heroes fighting at the front should receive awards and honors, and collaborators should serve prison terms," the statement reads. The party claims to have expelled from its ranks people who collaborated with the Russians and called for personal responsibility for cooperation.

Earlier, a court ruling in Ukraine banned the activities of the Nash Krai political party in June 2024. One of its leaders was Anton Kisse, an MP from Odesa region. A year later, the court overturned the decision to ban the political force. The Nash Krai party noted that the accusations against the party for its allegedly pro-Russian and anti-state position were recognized by the court as groundless and illegal.
