Greenpeace Russia shuts down following ban as 'undesirable' group.

Greenpeace Russia has announced its closure after being labeled an "undesirable" organization by the country's Prosecutor General's Office. The NGO has been accused of "interfering" with Russia's internal affairs, "undermining" the country's economy, and "financing" the activities of Russian organizations designated as "foreign agents." Greenpeace Russia has played a key role in demanding action on climate and environmental issues in Russia, including fighting seasonal wildfires and proposing legislative reforms. The move to ban Greenpeace comes amid a tightening clampdown on environmental groups within Russia over the past year.
