Putin called on the courts to make fair decisions and give a quick response

Russian courts must respond quickly to appeals and make fair decisions, President Vladimir Putin said at the annual meeting of judges of courts of general jurisdiction and arbitration courts. The transcript was published on the Kremlin website.

“A lot of people are having a hard time right now. If citizens go to COURT, they should receive a quick response and a fair decision,” the president said.

He noted that for two years now he has had to live "in difficult conditions" of the CORONAVIRUS pandemic and the fight against it. In this regard, the president thanked the judges for "worthy, sometimes selfless fulfillment of their mission" and "work with full dedication."

“All this difficult time, our courts have been working without slowing down, as usual. And I would like to emphasize the special role of the presidiums of the Supreme Court and the Council of Judges, who promptly, at the very beginning of the epidemic, adopted resolutions on the procedure for the work of the courts and subsequently regularly provided clarifications on issues arising in connection with the pandemic,” Putin said.
