President of Ukraine Appoints 16 Judges to the HACC and the HACC Appeals Chamber

Today, decrees appointing the competition winners to the HACC and the HACC Appeals Chamber appeared on the Office of the President’s website.

The following have been appointed to the High Anti-Corruption Court:

• Viktor Antypenko
• Oksana Hutsal 
• Yevhen Didenko 
• Oleksandr Dudchenko
• Vitalii Koriahin 
• Vladyslav Kukhta 
• Mykola Pika
• Lesia Skreklia 
• Iryna Teslenko 
• Oleh Khamkhodera 
• Marta-Mariia Yatsynina 

To the HACC Appeals Chamber:

• Nataliia Doroshenko
• Mykola Rubashchenko
• Inna Smal
• Olena Tanasevych, and
• Ihor Chaikin.

This does not yet complete the staffing of the HACC and its Appeals Chamber. On August 13, 2026, the High Council of Justice also drew up a recommendation to appoint Denys Kovalenko as a HACC judge, though no corresponding presidential decree has been published so far.

Interviews with two more candidates — sitting first-instance HACC judges Natalia Movchan and Kateryna Sikora — remain unfinished, as the HCJ announced a recess in their cases. 

Three other candidates — Yuliia Retynska, Tetiana Troian, and Olha Pevna — are awaiting HQCJ recommendations to fill vacancies that may open at the first-instance HACC as sitting judges move up to the appellate level.
