President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy commented on the release on bail of UAH 30 million of the head of the AMCU, Pavlo Kyrylenko, who is accused of illegal enrichment, noting that he does not appoint courts and stressed that the court should pass a verdict and the person should be held accountable, UNN reports.
All over the world, people are accused and have the right to defend themselves in court, Ukraine is no exception, or do you want to turn Ukraine into Russia, when people are accused and people do not have the opportunity to defend themselves. I do not appoint or dismiss courts. If there is a criminal case, let him be accused, let the court pass a verdict and the person be held accountable
