In particular, it was established that “these judges, contrary to the requirements of the legislation of Ukraine, violating the Oath of Judges, after the annexation of the Crimea Peninsula by the Russian Federation in March 2014, began to administer “justice” in the so-called courts of the Republic of Crimea and unlawfully make judicial decisions. In November-December 2014, according to the Decrees of the President of the aggressor country “On the appointment of judges of federal courts,” they transferred to the service of these illegally created courts.”
