As representatives of the revolutionary authorities explained, these judges helped Viktor Yanukovych bypass the law in 2010 to return the Constitution, which sharply strengthened the powers of the president.
In addition, judges in 2013 made a decision that gave grounds for the authorities to refuse to hold elections in Kyiv, despite the expiration of the term of office of deputies of the capital city council.
