The Party of Shariy (Ukrainian: Партія Шарія, romanized: Partiia Shariia; Russian: Партия Шария, romanized: Partiya Shariya, PSh) is a banned political party in Ukraine founded by political blogger Anatoly Shariy. Its official proclaimed ideology is libertarianism.
On 22 March 2022, during the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine decided to suspend the Party of Shariy because of alleged ties with Russia. An Administrative Court of Appeal banned the party on 16 June 2022. The party exercised its right to appeal to the Supreme Court of Ukraine. On 6 September 2022, the Supreme Court rejected this appeal and thus finally banned its activities in Ukraine. The reasons given for banning the party were: destabilization of the social and political situation in Ukraine, spread of anti-Ukrainian propaganda regarding the change of the constitutional system by violent means, violation of the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, propaganda of war, violence in conditions of military aggression of the Russian Federation.
