On August 13, the Seventh Appeals Administrative Court for the second time started consideration of the appeal of the State Migration Service, which is trying to "deport" volunteer and defender of Ukraine Leonid Chemodanov to Russia.
Composition of the court: judge-rapporteur Viktor Shidlovskyi, and judges Oleg Kurko, Oleksandr Borovytskyi.
This time, it was possible for a representative of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to come to the court session and remind the court that materials obtained from Russian sources are being used in the case.
What will the court be guided by? The rule of law or the rule of residence permit?
After all, Leonid Chemodanov has the right to legal stay on the territory of Ukraine, which he proved by protecting the territorial integrity of our state from 2014 to 2023. This was also confirmed by the Security Service of Ukraine in 2021.
Let's remind that "Zielony" comes from the Pskov region of the Russian Federation. It has been more than 15 years since he moved to Ukraine and renounces his Russian citizenship. Active participant of the Revolution of Dignity. In 2014, he received a categorical refusal from the Zhytomyr Military Commissariat to serve in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and joined the ranks of the 5th separate battalion of the Ukrainian Volunteer Corps "Right Sector". In the hottest spots on the front, he shows his loyalty to Ukraine, in particular during the defense of the Donetsk airfield.
