1. **Subject of the dispute** is the recognition and annulment of the Decree of the President of Ukraine on the imposition of sanctions against INDIVIDUAL_1.
2. **Parties to the case** are the plaintiff, a citizen of the Republic of Cyprus, who seeks the annulment of the sanctions, and the defendants – the President of Ukraine and the state institutions that support the imposed sanctions.
3. **Preliminary court decisions** ruled to leave the claim of INDIVIDUAL_1 without consideration due to the absence of the plaintiff’s representative at court hearings.
4. **Key facts and arguments** the court took into account include the fact that the plaintiff’s representative failed to appear at two court hearings without valid reasons and did not submit a request for the case to be considered in their absence, which violates Article 205 of the Code of Administrative Procedure of Ukraine. The plaintiff asserted that the court did not ensure her participation via video conference; however, the court found that no such requests had been submitted. The Grand Chamber also noted the plaintiff’s lack of interest in the case during the period between hearings and the absence of attempts to ensure participation via video link. These circumstances confirmed the legality of the decision to leave the claim without consideration.
5. **Court ruling** – The Grand Chamber of the Supreme Court left the appeal ungranted and upheld the decision of the court of first instance regarding the dismissal of the claim without consideration.
