The court set bail for People’s Deputy Shufrych at over 33 million hryvnias as an alternative to detention
The Kyiv Court of Appeal has determined an alternative measure of restraint in the form of bail for Nestor Shufrych, a member of parliament from the banned Opposition Platform – For Life party in Ukraine, who is suspected of treason. Its size exceeds 33 million hryvnias.
The lawyer of the People’s Deputy Dmytro Savytsky reported on the court’s decision, noting that it is an additional alternative to detention.
“The court has now issued a ruling on the introduction of an additional, let’s say, alternative preventive measure in the form of bail in excess of 33 million hryvnias,” he explained.
At the same time, the defense attorney doubts that his client will be able to take advantage of this opportunity. According to the lawyer, even considering Shufrych’s public status, the bail amount is too high for him.
“Despite the client’s publicity and status as a people’s deputy, this amount is exorbitant for him, so the issue of paying the bail is currently quite questionable,” Savytskyi noted.
He also emphasized that Shufrych has been subject to personal sanctions by the National Security and Defense Council, and all his assets are blocked, which makes it impossible to carry out financial transactions.
“There is an objective impossibility of carrying out any financial transactions,” he explained lawyer.
In addition, according to the defense attorney, Shufrych has been in custody for over two years, does not perform his parliamentary duties and does not receive a salary, which also affects his financial situation.
Earlier, on November 19, 2025, the court, at the request of prosecutors, extended the detention of Nestor Shufrych in custody without the right to post bail until January 17, 2026. At the same time, the preventive measure in the form of house arrest for his former assistant was extended until January 19, 2026.
