Does Ukraine need a new Constitution?  

July 19, 2022

A conversation with Professor Petro Stetsiuk, Ph.D. (Law), Razumkov Centre Research Fellow on Legal Issues, about the 7 requirements of the European Union to Ukraine regarding EU membership:

— on the European identity of the Ukrainian people,

— on what is wrong with the procedure for selecting judges of the Constitutional Court of Ukraine,

— on whether Ukraine needs a new Constitution in connection with its future accession to the EU,

— whether the decrees on the dismissal of the Prosecutor General and removal of the Head of the Security Service of Ukraine from office comply with the Constitution;

— on the "flaws" and "shortcomings" of the current Constitution of Ukraine.
