Overview
- Judge Vitalii Dubas ordered bail of UAH 33 million and required Yuliia Tymoshenko to surrender her passports, remain within Kyiv Oblast, avoid contact with 66 MPs, and notify authorities of any change of residence or employment.
- Prosecutors had sought UAH 50 million bail and an electronic monitoring device, but the court declined to require an ankle tag.
- NABU released audio and video it says show regular payments of about $10,000 a month for specific votes, allegations Tymoshenko and her lawyers deny as falsified and politically motivated.
- The court rejected defense motions to obtain the full original recording and to summon MP Ihor Kopytin, whom Tymoshenko identified as the interlocutor in the tape.
- Tymoshenko said she will appeal the ruling and noted her accounts are frozen, while she remains at liberty under the imposed restrictions as the pre-trial investigation continues.
