The Toronto-based Ukrainian World Congress has been added to Russia’s list of “undesirables.” On July 11, the Prosecutor General of the Russian Federation declared the UWC an “undesirable” organization that poses “a threat to the security of the state and the constitutional framework.” Once deemed “undesirable,” an NGO’s accounts are frozen and its branches must be closed; violators of the law face fines of up to 500,000 Russian rubles ($7,930 U.S.) as well as imprisonment.
