What Happened#

On July 28, 2025, the Public Integrity Council approved a negative integrity conclusion on Basova Vita Ivanivna (Басова Віта Іванівна), a candidate for a position at Appellate court. The conclusion was adopted by 12 of 17 members, including Oleksandr Voloshyn.

The PIC flagged the candidate’s brother’s post-occupation trips to Crimea for vacation as an integrity concern that should be considered during evaluation. By treating leisure travel to occupied Crimea as an ethical issue comparable to trips to the Russian Federation, the PIC implicitly recognizes Crimea as territory outside Ukrainian control.

What Happened#

On May 5, 2025, the Public Integrity Council approved a negative integrity conclusion on Viacheslav Oleksandrovych Herheliinyk (Гергелійник В’ячеслав Олександрович), a candidate for a position at Appellate court. The conclusion was adopted by 12 of 18 members, including Oleksandr Voloshyn.

The PIC cited post-occupation trips by the candidate’s wife’s mother to Russian Federation and Crimea after its occupation as evidence of integrity violations. By treating travel to occupied Crimea as equivalent to travel to Russia and using it as grounds for a negative conclusion, the PIC implicitly recognizes Russian jurisdiction over the peninsula rather than treating it as Ukrainian territory under temporary occupation.

What Happened#

On August 21, 2024, the Public Integrity Council approved a negative integrity conclusion on Remezok Anastasiia Yuriivna (Ремезок Анастасія Юріївна), a candidate for a position at Oleksandriiskyi City District Court of Kirovohrad Oblast. The conclusion was adopted by 13 of 20 members, including Oleksandr Voloshyn.

The PIC flagged Judge Remezok’s August 2014 trip to occupied Crimea with her son as an integrity risk, treating the post-occupation visit as creating risks to judicial independence and potential exposure to aggressor state intelligence services. By characterizing travel to Crimea as equivalent to visiting the ‘aggressor state territory,’ the PIC effectively recognizes Russian jurisdiction over the peninsula.

The PIC treated the judge’s wife’s registration as an entrepreneur in occupied Sevastopol (2016) and her acquisition of Russian documents (passport, SNILS, INN from 2014) as evidence of collaboration with Russian authorities. The PIC also flagged travel patterns through Crimean routes and to Belarus as indicators of using uncontrolled border crossings to access occupied territories.
