According to the Speaker of the Supreme Court, only political will is needed to close the issue of this corruption court and its chairman Pavlo Vovk.
Kyiv District Administrative Court, where Lawsuit filed by ex-president Viktor Yanukovych declaring the Verkhovna Rada's decision to remove him from power illegal, resuming work and accepting lawsuits and making court decisions, Vsevolod Knyazev told ZN.UA.
Thus, he refuted the statement of the Deputy Chairman of the OPU Andriy Smirnov that the activity of the District Administrative Court of Kyiv was reliably blocked.
Since Putin decided to attack in the fall, Yanukovych's lawsuit in the UACC to declare the Verkhovna Rada's decision to remove him from power, filed in December 2021, is part of an operation to delegitimize the Ukrainian government. According to ZN.UA, the lawsuit miraculously fell to Deputy Vovk Ablov. If the judge's decision is positive, Ukrainians could get two presidents at once. With all the consequences that follow.
“Will he consider Yanukovych's lawsuit?” Do not think. Because in the current conditions, even the most corrupt judges will not risk making such a decision – they will simply be lifted up on a pitchfork. Meanwhile, realizing the importance of resuming administrative proceedings in Kyiv, I monitor the situation with regard to this court on a daily basis, “the SCU chairman said when asked about the fate of this lawsuit in modern conditions.
Knyazev added , which was initiated by President Zelensky almost a year ago, is very difficult and cannot have a clear decision.
“The situation with the UASC is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, we know from NABU films about blatant corruption, as well as the actions of judges that influence the decisions of the CCU and, consequently, state security. And in order to close the issue, all that was needed was political will, “said the head of the Supreme Court.
judges.
“Because it is the block of jurisdiction of the highest state authorities that turns this court into a monopolist. And with any team of judges. This is not the first time this has happened. Therefore, the division of powers between different courts is a way out. And then it would not harm the judicial process in this area. Because tens of thousands of cases of ordinary citizens can “hang” indefinitely in the event of its liquidation, “Knyazev argued.
He added that the profile committee of the Verkhovna Rada now has both a bill on the liquidation of the UACC and a bill on the transfer of some of its powers to the Supreme Court. At the same time, the Supreme Court is ready to implement any of these laws, clearly indicating a more correct position, in the opinion of the Supreme Court. Today, all VKKS and VSP reform processes are frozen. Some of the powers not specified in the Constitution have been transferred to the President of the Supreme Court.
How did the judicial system reformat during the war? What are the mechanisms for identifying collaborating judges and what to do with them next? Why is the UASK still working, where Yanukovych's lawsuit lies, and what is the threat to our statehood? Why is e-court needed right now and who is responsible for its implementation? What can the critical underfunding of the Cabinet of Ministers mean for the judiciary? Read about this and much more in the interview of Inna Vedernikova with Supreme Court Chairman Vsevolod Knyazev: “I am ashamed of the decision of GRP members who resigned two days before the war.
