President Volodymyr Zelensky met with the judges of the Supreme Court.

He congratulated the servants of Themis on Judicial Workers' Day. The president announced this on Facebook.

The president called it a strategic task to 'hold all Russian murderers, executioners, and terrorists accountable, to do everything possible at the level of the national judicial system to ensure that everyone who committed crimes against our people and against our state is punished.'

A fair and capable Ukrainian court working in reasonable timeframes is a key element in achieving this task, said Zelensky.

Zelensky thanked those judges and court workers 'who feel the moral significance of this work and who do everything to ensure that justice is felt in our society.'

'Happy Judicial Workers' Day,' he said.

In September, journalists from 'Radio Free Europe' reported that the deputy chairman of the Supreme Court and the chairman of the Cassation Commercial Court, Bohdan Lvov, and his wife hold Russian passports. It was also revealed that the judge's wife and mother-in-law own a two-room apartment on Leningradskoye Highway in Moscow. The judge's daughter also holds Russian citizenship, according to PROSUD.

The SBU confirmed that the judge holds a Russian passport. The NABU opened a case regarding the probable non-declaration of Moscow real estate.

On October 5, the head of the Supreme Court, Vsevolod Knyazev, signed an order to terminate Lvov's powers as a judge.

A petition was written to Zelensky to revoke Bohdan Lvov's Ukrainian citizenship.
