Supreme Court disrupts Ukraine’s accession to EU by repressions for faith and pacifism
(27.10.2025) In the midst of an international scandal around the imprisonment and torture of conscientious objectors, the judges showed a little mercy to Vitalii Kryushenko without due acquittal, but did not even mention it on the court’s website, as the policy of repression for faith seems to remain unchanged. The Joint Chamber of the Cassation Criminal Court of the Supreme Court denied a cassation complaint against the sentence to a prisoner of conscience Vitaliy Kryushenko, but suspended the sentence and released him from prison with one-year probationary term.
