NABU is investigating the possible involvement of Cassation Court head Ihor Dashutin in illegally influencing other judges. The allegation is that Dashutin may have artificially delayed the consideration of the case concerning the cancellation of sanctions against Petro Poroshenko.
During the TSC session, MP Nina Yuzhanina read aloud a conversation between Iryna Mudra and Mykyta, in which the former official says that she was asked to “resolve this matter amicably.”
This was learned by Slidstvo.Info during a temporary investigative commission session 2 September.
As MP Nina Yuzhanina reported during the TSC, NABU detectives are investigating the possible involvement of the head of the Cassation Administrative Court Ihor Dashutin in illegally influencing other judges. 19 August 2026 a year, searches were conducted at his premises as part of Operation “Themis”.

Yuzhanina described recordings of conversations between Iryna Mudra and Maksym Mykytas that appear in the “Forrest Gump” scheme. They relate to attempts to influence judges who were considering Petro Poroshenko’s lawsuit against Volodymyr Zelensky seeking to declare the decree imposing sanctions unlawful.
At the TSC they read aloud Iryna Mudra’s words that are on NABU’s “tapes”: “In short, yes, they met yesterday. Regarding the sanctions issue, he supposedly has no personal claims against me, he knows that I will follow only instructions, and asks to find some way, supposedly, to resolve this matter amicably. He offers a billion, supposedly for the Armed Forces. What do you think about this, Iryna Romanivna? I say: ‘So, do you have any questions for me? Well, you understand, he understands how courts work. Well, I deal with courts. I spoke with Dashutin.’”
According to Yuzhanina, Dashutin may have deliberately disrupted the hearing in this case 3 April 2026 a year.
“On the eve, Judge Olha Kashpur filed a leave request, which Dashutin approved. At the same time, the Cassation Court’s website shows that 3 April (the day when Judge Kashpur was supposedly on leave), other cases were assigned to her. Thus, Ihor Dashutin, by approving the judge’s leave on the day the decision was to be announced, helped artificially delay the consideration of the case and gave time for illegal influence on other judges,” Yuzhanina says.
NABU’s press service told Slidstvo.Info journalists that as of 2 September Ihor Dashutin had not been notified of any suspicion.
Note that 10 July 2026 a year the Cassation Administrative Court dismissed Petro Poroshenko’s lawsuit seeking to cancel the sanction. President Volodymyr Zelensky imposed them in February 2025 a year.
