Court extends Shufrych's preventive measure until May 9

The Shevchenkivskyi District Court of Kyiv has decided to extend the detention of Nestor Shufrych, a member of parliament from the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party, until May 9, 2026, with the possibility of bail in excess of 33 million hryvnias.

This was reported in a comment to Ukrinform by Iryna Frolova, spokesperson for the Shevchenkivskyi District Court.

“The court extended the preventive measure in the form of detention until May 9 for the MP from the Opposition Platform – For Life party. The amount of bail remained unchanged,” she said, responding to a question about Shufrych.

As reported by Ukrinform, earlier, the Kyiv Court of Appeals set bail for Shufrych at 33 million hryvnias, as an alternative to detention in a pre-trial detention center.

In September 2024, the Office of the Prosecutor General sent the indictment in the Shufrych case to the court for consideration on its merits.
