Ukrainian MP Oleksandr Dubinsky said he had sent to the U.S. Department of State data on a number of SBU senior officials and employees, judges and government officials "who have participated and continue to participate in in falsifying materials against U.S. officials and their interests."

According to him, the U.S. may impose personal sanctions against these individuals.

Dubinsky's list includes experts from the Kyiv Scientific Research Institute of Forensic Examinations, including Svitlana Dolinkovska, Eduard Lytvynenko, and former head of the institute Oleksandr Ruvin.

These individuals, among other activities, conducted "expert opinions" commissioned by the SBU in the UOJ case, interpreting news articles and publications on the UOJ website as "treason". In the case materials, these expert conclusions serve as the only "evidence" of the guilt of UOJ staff members Valeriy Stupnytskyi, Andriy Ovcharenko, and Volodymyr Bobechko, as well as UOC priest Serhii Chertylyn. They spent between five and eight months behind bars and still face the threat of life imprisonment.

Earlier, the UOJ published a detailed analysis of expert falsifications in the "UOJ case".
