Zelenskyy appoints High Anti‑Corruption Court judges after delays

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has appointed 11 judges to Ukraine’s High Anti‑Corruption Court (HACC) and five to its appeals chamber, following delays in the process. The appointments were made through decrees signed on August 21, according to documents on the president’s website. Ukrainska Pravda reported on the same day that increasing staffing at the court is an important performance indicator in the EU’s Ukraine Facility financial aid program, which is tied to a potential €250 million to €300 million tranche.

While the selection process for new HACC judges is complete, with 17 nominees sent to Zelenskyy by the High Qualification Commission of Judges, two candidates were still under review when the story was published. The monitoring consortium RRR4U estimates that over €7 billion in EU funding is currently dependent on unmet progress indicators.
