Opposition Platform — For Life

"Platform for Life and Peace" is a political project formed in 2022 following the ban of several pro-Russian parties in Ukraine. It was primarily composed of former members of the banned party "Opposition Platform — For Life" (OPFL), who united into a new parliamentary group in the Verkhovna Rada. The main goal of its creation was to maintain political presence and influence after the change of legal status of previous political entities.

The group operates mainly as a parliamentary association, without a clearly defined classic party structure at the national level. Its representatives continue to participate in legislative activities, often supporting government decisions during the wartime period, which distinguishes them from their previous political rhetoric.

The political stance of the "Platform for Life and Peace" has undergone transformation since 2022. The association’s representatives publicly declare support for the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the necessity of stabilizing the situation in the country. At the same time, their activities are often viewed through the lens of their prior political history and connections with banned political forces.

Organizationally, the association does not have an extensive network of branches like traditional parties; however, it retains influence through its parliamentary faction and political ties at the local level. Some representatives continue to work in the regions, enabling ongoing contact with constituents.

Thus, the "Platform for Life and Peace" is a transitional political form that emerged amid the transformation of the Ukrainian political landscape during the war and adapts to the new political realities.
