Russia Blacklists 15 NGOs Including IWPR and CABAR.asia as 'Undesirable'

Russia's Prosecutor General added 15 organizations to its 'undesirable' list, including the Institute for War & Peace Reporting and CABAR.asia, continuing a pattern of suppressing independent media and civil society. This escalates legal pressure on foreign-linked NGOs, potentially restricting their operations and funding in Russia. The move signals further tightening of civic space ahead of upcoming elections.
