A Court Blow to Yatsenko's Ambitions? "For the Future" Lost the Appeal in the Case on the Recall of Officials in Uman

Revanchism of the “pro-Yatsenkivskyi” forces is being canceled? The appellate tier refused to grant the appeal filed by representatives of the Cherkasy regional organization of the party “For the Future.”

Judicial system on the side of the community. The political confrontation in Uman, unfolding between Mayor Iryna Pletniova and Member of Parliament Anton Yatsenko together with the party “For the Future,” received another development in the court sphere. As a reminder, earlier journalists from Stop Corruption TV meticulously investigated the chronology of attempts to remove the city head under the so-called "people’s initiative" and found that, according to testimonies of members of the election commission and registry data, the people behind these actions were likely aides to the deputy.

On Tuesday, 27 October, another meeting of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal took place, with a filming crew from "Stop Corruption TV" present.

The case is No. 580/6408/26 (on the claim of Mykola Chystyk). 27 October 2026 year, a panel of judges of the Sixth Administrative Court of Appeal, consisting of Mykhailo Kobal, Volodymyr Kuzmenko, and Yurii Cherpak, considered the appeal filed by the political party “For the Future.”

The appellate appeal of the party “For the Future” was filed against the ruling of Cherkasy Administrative Court from 18 June 2026 year on taking measures to secure the claim in the case recognizing as unlawful and canceling the decisions regarding recall.

During the hearing, the court promptly moved through procedural stages: it proceeded to the stage of court debates and immediately to issuing a final decision.

The result of the session was a complete legal victory for the community representatives: the court ruled to leave the appellate appeal of the party “For the Future” without satisfaction, and to leave the initially issued order of securing the claim unchanged.

The appellate court’s ruling became legally binding immediately from the moment of its proclamation. Additionally, during the hearing, the presiding judge announced the existence of a separate opinion by judge Volodymyr Kuzmenko regarding the decision taken.

Thus, attempts through party congresses to strip elected community representatives of mandates and powers continue to suffer a legal fiasco.

The StopKor portal team and the filming group of the online media “Stop Corruption TV” will monitor the course of this story and continue to cover the political situation in Uman.

For reference, journalists from “Holo Info” drew attention to the course of the court case concerning Dmytro Kalanchy and actions by prosecutors’ representatives who support the indictment.
