Putin appoints over 200 "judges" in occupied territories of Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin appointed 222 "judges" in the temporarily occupied areas of Ukraine.

That’s according to the Center for National Resistance, Ukrinform reports.

“Fake” judges are appointed for a term of six years.

"In this way, the occupiers continue to form a power apparatus in the temporarily occupied areas to carry out repressions against local residents," the statement reads.
