One of the judges the President appointed yesterday is Yurii Tsyukalo (judge of the Commercial Court of the city of Kyiv).
His five-year term as a judge ended in March 2017 year.
20 March 2019 year — the High Qualification Commission of Judges recognized Tsyukalo as fit for the position (decision No. 53/ko-19).
7 May 2019 year — by decision No. 32/ds-19 the High Qualification Commission of Judges gave a recommendation to appoint Yurii Tsyukalo to the position of judge of the Commercial Court of the city of Kyiv.
15 May 2019 year — that recommendation from the High Qualification Commission of Judges was sent to the High Council of Justice. This is explicitly stated in the subsequent decision of the HCJ.
14 January 2020 year — the High Council of Justice, by decision No. 40/0/15-20, decided to submit to the President of Ukraine a proposal to appoint Tsyukalo Yu.V. to the position of judge of the Commercial Court of the city of Kyiv.
21 August 2026 year — Decree of the President of Ukraine No. 796/2026.
So from the recommendation to the Decree 7 years passed, and from the submission to the appointment 6,5 years passed.
If you count the years during which the judge did not administer justice but received judicial remuneration, it comes to 9,5 years.
That decree of Tsyukalo lay in Mudra’s inbox for a long time.
But based on the recordings released yesterday, this appointment cannot be considered a victory, because most likely there were personal arrangements with Mudra.
We will tell you whose son Tsyukalo is in subsequent publications.
