Overview
- The Cassation Administrative Court within the Supreme Court denied Petro Poroshenko's request to annul RNBO personal sanctions, leaving the measures legally in place.
- Poroshenko's legal team said it will seek review by the Supreme Court's Grand Chamber after it receives the full written cassation decision needed to file a formal appeal.
- Defense lawyers allege they found documents they believe were falsified during the 1.5-year court process and say those claims will form part of the Grand Chamber appeal.
- The RNBO package imposes indefinite measures such as removal of state awards, asset freezes, suspension of trade and transit, travel and transport restrictions, and rules to prevent capital flight.
- The ruling raises both legal and political stakes by keeping broad, open-ended restrictions on a former president in force and could shape future court scrutiny of the RNBO's evidence and procedures.
