How the High Council of Justice cast doubt on the integrity of Ethics Council chair Kyshakevych ⚖️
✍️We have repeatedly told how grant-seekers together with Knyaziev once made Lev Kyshakevych the chair of the Ethics Council — a person who is “beyond reproach.” It is this body that now evaluates candidates for membership in the High Council of Justice itself.
But sometimes reality outdoes all records of hypocrisy.
🔥The classic scheme: delay and acquit
Everyone’s favorite trick: if an administrative case alleging corruption reaches a court, a judge can “earn extra” by dragging out the proceedings and closing the case on statute-of-limitations grounds.
👏The High Council of Justice decided to close that “shop” a little. 07 October 2026 year they held Judge H.A. Pidberezny of the Central District Court of Dnipro to account for this (he received a reprimand). The judge “saved” Dnipro District Council deputies V.A. Kholodny and O.M. Postolov in cases No. 203/4490/24, 201/12242/24.
📌The methods are classic: baseless postponements, long pauses, and the judge’s ignoring of abuses in the form of systematic motions to adjourn hearings.
🤡And what does this have to do with the “beacon of integrity” Lev Kyshakevych?
Here’s the connection. Judge Kyshakevych once did exactly the same — brazenly and cynically delaying proceedings — and saved the mayor of Ivano-Frankivsk from similar charges.
Unlike the little-known Dnipro deputies, the Ivano-Frankivsk delay caused a huge public outcry; reports were made about it.
🎪🎠🎡At the time the media summarized it with the headline: “The circus is over: Martyniuk was relieved of responsibility due to expiration of the term” (https://kurs.if.ua/news/tsyrk_zakinchyvsya_martsinkiva_vyznaly_vynnym_i_zvilnyly_vid_vidpovidalnosti_u_zvyazku_iz_zakinchennyam_terminu_prytyagnennya_58299.html/).
⚖️The case was presided over by Judge Lev Kyshakevych (here is the text: https://reyestr.court.gov.ua/Review/69268820.).
💰Family corruption bonuses
And some time later the mayor who had been saved repaid the favor — the judge’s son, the very young Roman Lvivovich, who since 18 years had been driving a Porsche Panamera of unclear origin around Frankivsk, suddenly became a member of the Executive Committee of the Ivano-Frankivsk City Council (https://galka.if.ua/miska-rada-zatverdila-sklad-novogo-f/). Coincidence? We don’t think so.
🔥🔥🔥Judge Pidberezny for similar actions receives a reprimand from the High Council of Justice. But Lev Kyshakevych — successfully passes evaluation, becomes a judge of the Supreme Court, and heads the Ethics Council as an “example of integrity.”
Double standards in action.
