Some of the judges present spoke in favor of rescheduling the session to another date so that the candidates could properly communicate with the large staff of the Supreme Court. In particular, one of the candidates for the post of head of the Armed Forces, Natalya Kovalenko, noted that she did not have a formed team, she did not know who would potentially be her deputy. “And two days was not enough time for me,” she clarified.
At the same time, 119 participants of the meeting spoke in favor of continuing the plenum meeting, 24 – against. The plenum meeting continued.

The very next day, the Supreme Court dismissed Knyazev from his post. And on May 18, he was arrested until July 14 with the possibility of making a bail of more than 107 million hryvnias.
