On August 28, the court chose a preventive measure for Kyrylenko in the form of a bail of 30 million hryvnias and set a restriction for a period of two months. The head of the AMCU himself then stated that he continued to perform his official duties, since he had not been removed from office. Already on August 29, he paid the specified bail.
