"I am very happy because there is now a very constructive atmosphere in the Constitutional Court. And the new judges have proved themselves to be professionals," the president said.

"As President, I have done everything and will do everything within the constitutional judicial reform to ensure the independence of the judicial system. Independence from politicians. It is great that for today the functions of the Verkhovna Rada on the appointment of judges were eliminated and the functions of the President are ceremonial," Poroshenko said.
