⚡️⚖️ “Rotterdam+”: VAKS denied the triple challenge of Judge Lytvynko — the defense of the “Akmetovite” Lisovyi already tried to challenge the judge who was considering the challenges
🏛🔄 VAKS Judge Tymur Khamzin denied three motions to disqualify Tetiana Lytvynko, who presides over the consolidated “Rotterdam+” case. The motions were filed by defense attorneys Iryna Odynets, Andrii Kostenok, and the defendant Borys Lisovyi — a former adviser to Akhmetov’s DTEK Skhidenergo. According to the investigation, Lisovyi, together with other DTEK managers and officials of the National Commission for State Regulation of Energy and Utilities (NKREKP), discussed the possibility of implementing the formula before it was approved.
🪆⚔️ The consideration of the challenges turned into a procedural matryoshka: the three motions were combined into one proceeding on 17 August and, by a single case allocation, assigned to Khamzin. The defense demanded a new allocation, and after that was denied, they filed a challenge against Khamzin himself.
💡💰 The essence of “Rotterdam+”: the electricity price formula included costs for transporting coal from European ports even for Ukrainian thermal power plants, which could have caused consumers to overpay more than 38 billion UAH in 2016–2019 years.
