The SSU has collected irrefutable evidence proving the guilt of 10 judges of russia’s Constitutional Court, involved in the ‘legitimization’ of the kremlin regime in the temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine.

On October 2, 2022, these officials recognized as ‘legal’ the agreements on ‘accession’ of the temporarily occupied territories to russia.

To do so, the judges signed resolutions on acceptance of the so-called ‘donetsk and luhansk people’s republics’ as well as parts of Zaporizhzhia and Kherson regions to the aggressor state.

At that time, russia’s Constitutional Court consisted of 10 active judges, including the chairman of this institution. Evidence has been collected on all officials who supported this decision.

Russia’s highest military and political leadership used this conclusion of the Constitutional Court as a formal stage in the annexation of the occupied regions of Ukraine.

Based on the evidence collected, SSU investigators notified russian judges of suspicion under the Articles 27.5 and 110.3 of the CCU (aiding the encroachment on Ukraine’s territorial integrity and inviolability).

The suspects are facing up to 15 years in prison or life imprisonment with confiscation of property.

The SSU is acting bring the criminals to justice for crimes against Ukraine.

The SSU conducted the investigation under the procedural supervision of the Prosecutor General’s Office.
