President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed his dissolution on Tuesday of a Kyiv court as evidence Ukraine can fight to end a history of corruption and Russia's invasion at the same time.

"This story has drawn to a close," he said as he announced he had signed a law liquidating the Kyiv District Administrative Court, which Ukrainian anti-corruption authorities had compared to a criminal organization and whose chairman was hit with U.S. sanctions Dec. 9.

Ukraine’s national anti-corruption bureau (NABU) said indictments were issued on June 17 against Vovk, two of his deputies, four of the court's judges and four others including the head of the country's state judicial administration.

Why, by shutting down a corrupt court?

Remember when AOC said the Supreme Court should be dissolved.

Thank God here in America, NO executive has the power or authority to shut down courts.

Is that you Saint George Washington Zelensky? Why does the war go on and Ukrainians die by the thousands daily when you single-handedly conquered Moscow?

Banning political parties, attacking churches, using human shields, conscripting women and old men, and being a total creep is not a good look.

Uh, if you read the story, it was the Ukrainian Parliament that voted to shut down the court due to its corruption, and Zelensky just signed the bill into law. You know, a Republican form of government and separation of powers, and all that?

Because the Russians are still in Ukraine as foreign invaders killing Ukrainians.

I did. And it’s still dangerous. We would impeach and remove corrupt judges (and have), not dissolve a whole court.

In revolutionary times, the courts were closed and John Adams was horrified.

Wondering, did the UK Parliament vote to nationalize media?

They just need us to one more billion dollars first so they can fight their war on graft. Maybe two billion ... graft is hard to fight.
