The comment comes amid public calls for the President to "react" to the ongoing investigation targeting judges of Kyiv's District Administrative Court suspected of running a criminal ring and seizing power.
The head of state, Volodymyr Zelensky, has neither right nor obligation to assess rulings handed down by judges or charges pressed forward against them, the President's Office says.
The comment, posted on the Office's Facebook page, comes amid public calls for the President to "react" to the ongoing investigation targeting judges of Kyiv's District Administrative Court suspected of running a criminal ring and seizing power.
"The Constitution of Ukraine establishes a clear division of power into legislative, executive, and judicial branches. This has already been repeatedly interpreted in Constitutional Court judgments and explained in numerous commentaries by legal experts. The body of these texts is easy to study. The president of Ukraine, according to the powers that the Constitution grants them, has neither right nor responsibility to assess judges' rulings or charges pressed against judges. Even if powers are considered within the theoretical concept of so-called inherent powers, which are not laid down in the Constitution, it still seems questionable to require the president to provide such an assessment," the comment reads.

"The president, like any citizen in the country, can share his impressions of certain resonating reports regarding open data of criminal proceedings, no more than that," the Office stated.
At the same time, the President's Office noted that they took into account the information about possible violations of law by representatives of the judicial branch, as well as the consideration of the relevant charges by the High Council of Justice.
The Bankova expressed hope that the investigation of such a high-profile case would help establish all the true circumstances.
It was after the change of power in 2019, the Office recalls, that the National Anti-corruption Bureau of Ukraine received all the necessary legislative support for independent operations and conditions were provided for the functioning of the High Anti-Corruption Court.
"We hope that this political investment will yield an appropriate result for society and affirmation of the rule of law principle," the comment says.
