While the parties that Zelensky banned were not all left wing (opposition platform for example was a coalition of parties across the spectrum), they were not pro-Russia either. These parties have all condemned the invasion. They were called pro-Russia because they wanted to have better relationship with Russia out of pragmatism and secure the rights of Russian speaking minorities in Ukraine. Zelensky was also elected to do the same. It is a centrist position. So now Ukraine only has far right parties.
You can read about the parties and their platforms on wikipedia. For example, For Life is one of the banned parties that’s described as pro-Russian that publicly denounced the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine on 8 March 2022.
