"As of now, we have vacancies, for which we can introduce a completely open, public professional selection of judges; and that is a very important instrument for the return of [public] confidence in the judiciary."

As reported earlier, the Supreme Council of Justice suggested dismissing 247 judges. At the same time, Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada committee for legal policy and justice Ruslan Kniazevych said that, according to the latest information, 23 judges had to be excluded from this list because, according to preliminary information, they were carrying out "justice" in the so-called Luhansk People's Republic. According to him, such judges should be dismissed for violation of the oath.
