The Party of Regions (Ukrainian: Партія регіонів, romanized: Partiia rehioniv, pronounced [ˈpɑrt⁽ʲ⁾ijɐ reɦiˈɔn⁽ʲ⁾iu̯]; Russian: Партия регионов, romanized: Partiya regionov) is a banned pro-Russian[22][23] political party in Ukraine formed in late 1997 that used to be the largest party in Ukraine between 2006 and 2014.
Since the Revolution of Dignity, the party has not competed in elections and members have slowly dispersed; the last election in which the party participated was the 2012 Ukrainian parliamentary election.[24][25] The best-known former party members are former Prime Minister Mykola Azarov and former President of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych;[26] both fled to Russia in February 2014 after Euromaidan.[27]
The Ukrainian Eighth Administrative Court of Appeal banned the party on 21 February 2023.[28]
A political project – the "Socialists" party has emerged in the political field, whose leadership included prominent representatives of the centre-left Party of Regions and V. Tsushko and L. Kozhar and the media reported on the possible involvement of A. Klyuyev in its funding.
Viktor Yanukovych, leader of the left-leaning Party of Regions, assumes the post of prime minister.
In all other cases mainstream Ukrainian politics-whether the center left (Party of Regions) or the center right (Our Ukraine-Bloc ofYulia Timoshenko) coalition-has tended to steer clear of the "pronuclear" stance.
