KYIV, Dec 29 (Reuters) - Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy signed a decree on Tuesday to suspend the head of the Constitutional Court, Oleksandr Tupytskyi, for two months, escalating a conflict between the presidency and the court over reforms.
Ukrainian prosecutors had said on Monday they were investigating Tupytskyi in connection with the suspected bribery of a witness, and formally requested the president to suspend the judge.
"I am signing this decree in order to restore justice and resolve the constitutional crisis," Zelenskiy said in a statement.
