Platform for Life and Peace (Ukrainian: Платформа за життя та мир, romanized: Platforma za zhyttia ta myr; PZZhM/ПЗЖМ or PLP) is a parliamentary group in Ukraine created after the ban on the Opposition Platform — For Life and the dissolution of the parliamentary group of the same name following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3][4]
History
The group was created on April 21, 2022, with Yuriy Boyko as its leader.[5]
The group explicitly announced that it did not include Viktor Medvedchuk, Vadym Rabinovych, Vadym Stolar, and their supporters, who had belonged to the prior Opposition Platform — For Life party.[6] Some of these politicians had left Ukraine before the invasion started,[7] or are perceived as proxies for Russia within Ukraine.[8]
Policies
According to Yuriy Boyko, the group contains "deputies willing to work for protecting Ukraine, helping the people, and rebuilding our country".[6]
The group claims to represent the Russian minority in Ukraine.[citation needed]
The group supports the accession of Ukraine to the European Union[9][10][11][2]

"If you want to be more formal, this is the path of social democrats, but without elements of liberalism, which significantly damaged our economy even before the war" — Yuri Boyko
