Chairman of the Supreme Court of Ukraine Vasyl Onopenko believes that the criminal cases around his family are prompted by the authorities to force him to leave his post.

He said this on Channel 5 on Tuesday night.

"Journalists and political analysts are writing about it so much, speaking about it so much, I’m already starting to believe it. If we take all these issues together, it seems to me that there is one issue – how to make me leave this post," Onopenko said.
