Overview
- The High Anti‑Corruption Court set a 6 million hryvnia bail for Stefanishina on August 6 after prosecutors had asked for 13.1 million.
- Her defence filed an appeal against the preventive measure and media initially reported the bail had not been paid within the five‑day window.
- Ukrinform reported later on August 13 that the 6 million hryvnia bail has been posted, fulfilling the court condition.
- A judge also imposed procedural obligations at the request of the National Anti‑Corruption Bureau that require Stefanishina to appear on summons, notify authorities of any change of residence, and avoid contact with specified individuals.
- The criminal probe traces to a July 16, 2025 registration by the Specialized Anti‑Corruption Prosecutor’s Office following an Ukrainska Pravda report about ARMA’s appointment of the manager 'КАМпарітет', and Stefanishina denies any wrongdoing while she was dismissed as ambassador to the United States on August 3.
