What Happened#

On March 30, 2026, the Public Integrity Council approved a negative integrity conclusion on Maksym Mykolaiovych Hloba (Глоба Максим Миколайович), a candidate for a position at Appellate court. The conclusion was adopted by 12 of 19 members, including Yaroslava Volvach.

The PIC cited Hloba’s multiple trips to the Russian Federation during the period from December 25, 2013, to June 13, 2014 — which encompasses the Russian occupation of Crimea — as unjustified travel without urgent necessity. By treating these trips as integrity violations, the PIC implicitly recognized Russian jurisdiction over occupied Crimea, since the candidate explained he crossed through Crimea and the PIC evaluated this as travel to ‘RF territory’ rather than Ukrainian territory under illegal occupation.

On March 30, 2026, the Public Integrity Council approved a negative integrity conclusion on Radchenko Vitalii Yevhenovych (Радченко Віталій Євгенович), a candidate for a position at Halytskyi District Court of Lviv. The conclusion was adopted by 11 of 19 members, including Yaroslava Volvach.

The PIC flagged travel by the candidate’s mother and sister through crossing points Kalanchak and Chonhar (administrative border with annexed Crimea), their presence in occupied Alushta, and sister obtaining Russian passport, treating these connections to Crimea as integrity risks that support overall doubts about the candidate’s fitness for judicial office.

Negative Integrity Conclusion on Kravchenko Maksym Volodymyrovych: Crimea Connection in Judicial Assessment

What Happened#

On September 26, 2025, the Public Integrity Council approved a negative integrity conclusion on Kravchenko Maksym Volodymyrovych (Кравченко Максим Володимирович), a candidate for a position at Court of Appeal. The conclusion was adopted by 14 of 19 members, including Yaroslava Volvach.

The PIC cited the candidate’s three trips to occupied Crimea in 2016 and undisclosed property in Crimea (son’s apartment in Partenit) as primary grounds for negative integrity conclusion. By treating these connections to Crimea as integrity violations equivalent to collaboration with the aggressor state, the PIC operationally recognized Russian jurisdiction over the peninsula rather than treating Crimea as occupied Ukrainian territory.
