Ukraine's President Petro Poroshenko has signed decrees dismissing 86 judges for the violation of the oath.

In particular, Poroshenko expelled three judges for illegal decisions related to activists of the Revolution of Dignity, the presidential press service said on Saturday.

The High Council of Justice reached a decision that Chervonozavodsky District Court in Kharkiv judge Denys Chudovsky, Obolonsky District Court in Kyiv judge Yulia Shvachach and Shevchenkivsky District Court in Kyiv judge Dmytro Kravets violated the oath during Maidan. Therefore, the Council recommended dismissing them.

In this respect, the High Council of Justice established that Chudovsky has failed to ensure the principle of independence of judges and hasn't ensured full and comprehensive study of all the aspects of cases, while Kravets hasn't performed his duties in good faith and violated norms of the legislation.

By another decree the president dismissed 83 judges in Russia-annexed Crimea for the violation of the oath.
