They were “preventive” – now they are “educational”

During a closed meeting, Zelensky’s representatives managed to reveal a new pearl: the sanctions against Poroshenko now also have an “educational nature.”
Lawyer Ilya Novikov said during a break in the hearing: “We heard with our own ears that a person who has been sanctioned in the form of deprivation of state awards should think about his behavior.”
And unfortunately, the general public does not see this – despite the fact that there are no secret materials left in the case.
Even MPs who have access to documents with the “DSK” stamp were not allowed to attend the meeting.
What are the sanctions for?
They didn’t say anything – they already fell for the first point, about the deprivation of state awards.
“It turned out that the President of Ukraine does not know exactly which state awards he deprived Poroshenko of,” Novikov noted.
The issue of falsified evidence.
The disk with attachments, which was allegedly handed over on February 12 for consideration at the meeting, actually contains files created on February 13, that is, after the meeting.
Moreover, Prime Minister Shmyhal’s cover letter was registered at 11:13 p.m. on the same day.
This indicates that the documents could have been issued retrospectively.
No explanations were given in court on this matter, and the court has so far refrained from making an assessment, but noted that this issue will not disappear from the case.
Context of the ECHR.
Since the last meeting (October 13), a decision of the European Court of Human Rights has appeared, which actually overturns the entire practice of Ukraine’s sanctions policy from the very beginning.
The ECHR disagrees, including with the Supreme Court of Ukraine, on what constitutes an interference with human rights when it comes to sanctions.
“And now it turns out that almost the entire doctrine of what the president’s power is when it comes to sanctions – where the limits of that power are and where it ends – could very quickly go into the trash.
Because the European Court has the final say in these matters: if it says that this cannot be done, it means that this cannot be done,” the lawyer emphasized.
We haven’t reached this issue yet, but it will be considered.
We will remind, on the eve of the panel of judges of the Cassation Administrative Court within the Supreme Court, which is considering Petro Poroshenko’s lawsuit to cancel the Decree on sanctions, completed the consideration of documents with the DSK stamp (for official use), on the basis of which the NSDC decision was made. As reported by lawyer Ilya Novikov, there are no adequate explanations in the documents why the authorities nevertheless needed to urgently impose sanctions against the fifth President within a few hours.
