"Pishov nakh*y": Zaporizhzhia's "caretaker" Vemir Davitian appears on Mudra's recordings where he lobbied for the appointment of a "needed" judge

Vemir Davitian, who is called the "caretaker" for Zaporizhzhia, appears in an exclusive excerpt of a conversation between Iryna Mudra and Maksym Mykytas. The recording concerns attempts to lobby for the appointment of a judge from Zaporizhzhia.

The conversation took place 10 June 2026 at around 21:49 in the kitchen of Maksym Mykytas's apartment on Holosiivskyi Avenue in Kyiv.

Mykytas M.V.: So Vitya told me about him, about this Davitian, yeah.

Mudra I.R.: For half a year he, well, keeps coming to me every time with a woman from Zaporizhzhia. She passed the competition for a judge to Khrypun (ed. — head of the SACC), to the commercial appeals court. And the president would sign everything. But I, you know, have this feeling, damn, I just don't want to appoint her, so I keep postponing, postponing, and he's been coming to me for half a year and begging for this judge: "Let's appoint her."

Mudra I.R.: "Who is asking you?" He says: "Well, Davitian is asking." I say: "Pishov nakh*y!" And I had been telling him to go away for months 8, and then he came and said: "Well, he's asking so insistently, so insistently."

Mykytas M.V.: Let Arakhamia come and ask.

Mudra I.R.: Listen, and he says: "Who is he asking, Vitya?" — "Well, he's asking me." I say: "Nobody is asking me." — "But I'm asking." I say: "Again, nobody is asking me."

Mykytas M.V.: Well, he doesn't catch hints, doesn't catch hints. And maybe Arakhamia said: "I won't go to her." He would have called you long ago. Or maybe he even resolved it without Arakhamia, it's not that complicated.

The conversation does not directly name the judge. Based on the details described by the interlocutors, it may be about Zaporizhzhia judge Oksana Yaresko, who became the winner of the competition to the Central Commercial Court of Appeal.

The High Council of Justice's submission regarding her appointment is dated 30 October 2025, and the corresponding presidential decree was published 30 July 2026.
