Chernyshov requests postponement of court hearing due to employment in the Cabinet
Deputy Prime Minister for National Unity Oleksiy Chernyshov, who is officially suspected of abuse of office and receiving illegal benefits, has asked the court to postpone the scheduled June 25 hearing on the appointment of a preventive measure for him. The argument for this motion is his employment in the government, which requires his personal presence at scheduled events in the Cabinet of Ministers and the government meeting. According to a message on Chernyshov's official Facebook page, he personally filed the corresponding motion yesterday, trying to agree on a new date and time for the court hearing "in advance with all parties to the case." In the message, he assured that he would continue to adhere to the most open position in this process and announced his application in order to avoid false and high-profile information assumptions. The Deputy Prime Minister emphasizes that his obligations to the court and the investigation remain paramount, but due to planned political events, he asks to take into account his car schedule. It is expected that the court will consider this application and make an appropriate decision in the near future, and the new date of the meeting will be announced in advance. In general, the situation surrounding the politician and government departments is attracting additional public attention. Given the seriousness of the charges against him, any postponement of the trials leads to active discussions in the media and social networks, highlighting the political and legal context of this case.
