«I want to announce the next plenary session on October 22. I will propose to elect the next head of the Supreme Court of Ukraine on this day, October 22. We want to do it in advance,» Danishevska said.

She added that her term as Chief Justice expires in a couple of months.

«… We use this time so that I can transfer to the new Chief Justice all the authority and experience I have received while in this position. I will not offer my candidacy,» Danishevska added.
