The President has appointed more 15 judges.
The Office of the President released today Decrees dated 15 September 2026, numbers 911-914 and 920/2026–930/2026.
Unlike the previous two rounds, when judges were appointed mostly to a single appellate court, yesterday’s appointments can be called a “mixed bag.”
There are first-instance judges whose decrees had been “lost” for several years, appellate judges who received recommendations for appointment 3-6 months ago, and even a couple of judges whose submissions for appointment the High Council of Justice only sent to the High Qualification Commission of Judges in August.
So one can assume that the Office of the President staff finally cleared out all the drawers of Mudra and Dubovyk and found the decrees on appointments that had been buried there — including those concerning high-profile names.
We hope that going forward the President will exercise his powers over the judiciary without delay, and that the Office of the President will at least stop functioning as a “laundry” and become an effective office when it comes to judicial appointments.
We congratulate the judges on their appointments🙂
We also remind the head of the Office of the President, Kyrylo Budanov, of the need to organize swearing-in ceremonies for those newly appointed judges who came to the judiciary from the advocacy and academic communities.
