Election of Head of HACC and destruction of Russian potential in Donbas: last night's highlights
Another British citizen was killed in Ukraine, a new head of the High Anti—Corruption Court was elected, and Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke about the situation in Donbas, where the Ukrainian military is destroying Russian potential. This is what you may have missed from the previous night.
New head of the HACC
Judge Vira Mykhailenko has become the new head of the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC). The decision was made on February 14 at a general meeting of judges. Several previous attempts were unsuccessful, but now the HACC has a full-fledged head of the court.
The establishment of the Anti-Corruption Court is one of the requirements of Ukraine's international partners for further cooperation. The HACC's mission is to administer fair justice in criminal proceedings for corruption-related crimes.
Evacuation of the last child from Vuhledar
The White Angels police evacuation unit has evacuated all children from Vuhledar. The 15-year-old son of a priest was the only child left in the city, which is being stormed by Russian troops around the clock. He and his family were taken out during a small arms battle.
Ramstein results and announcement of the second day of the meeting
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the first day of the ninth meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group (the so-called Ramstein) on February 14 brought “strong decisions”, but “not everything can be announced publicly”.
Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov said that on Wednesday, February 15, the second day of the ninth Ramstein meeting will discuss, among other things, the supply of tanks for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Destruction of Russian potential in Donbas
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that the situation on the front line, especially in Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts, remains extremely difficult. The Ukrainian military is now destroying “Russian potential” there.
According to him, every day that Ukrainian defenders withstood in Bakhmut, Vuhledar, Marinka, and other cities and communities in Donbas is “a reduction of Russian aggression for weeks”.
