Chairman of the High Council of Justice Hryhoriy Usyk in an interview with the editor of the ZN policy department. UA Inna Vedernikova: "

Commenting on the incident with the detention of Vsevolod Knyazev while receiving a bribe, Usyk noted that in our society all judges are always identified with bribe takers..

" Whatever blow Knyazev inflicted on the judicial system, the vast majority of judges are decent and professional.. The problem is that the demand for justice is not satisfied in society.. Therefore, the requirements for judges are as high as possible.. , and violations on their part cause a great resonance, undermining people's trust not only in the court, but also in the state,"

But here it is just important, said the head of the VRP, not to go too far in definitions. In order not to humiliate the dignity of judges who honestly do their job. And there are many of them in the Supreme Court and the judicial system as a whole..

Commenting on the election of Stanislav Kravchenko as the new head of the Armed Forces, Usyk stressed that he could not identify this with the fact that the department hastily elected a representative of the "

" But, perhaps, half of the Supreme Court are judges who have never worked with either Kravchenko or Gulko and generally came to the judicial system for a little over five years.. These are scientists, these are lawyers, allies... Why did they then vote for Kravchenko with such a majority?

Maybe because the judges are aware that in order for the Supreme Court to withstand such a high-profile scandal and reform, it needs an experienced and predictable chairman" he added.
