Candidates of all 120 applicants for the positions of judges of the new Supreme Court of Ukraine, selected as a result of the competition by the High Qualifications Commission, should be considered by the High Council of Justice of the country.

This is necessary because "the integrity of many of them is questionable," according to a statement by the US Embassy in Kyiv.
