Obolonskyi court started consideration on the merits.

Obolonskiy district court of Kiev began consideration of the fact of ex-President Viktor Yanukovych, accused of treason.

Lawyer Yanukovych Vitaliy Serdyuk before the meeting said that the defence will insist that the ex-President had the opportunity to come out and give explanations on the merits under international law.

“Viktor Yanukovych intends to participate in the interrogation of top officials of the state personally to ask questions. Such a procedure should be applied by analogy, which was used Sviatoshynskyi court,” he said.

According to him, the Rostov court confirmed the possibility of release on bond if the court in Kiev, under the European Convention, will send the documents to the Ministry of justice of Ukraine, which shall send the relevant documents to the Federation for the organization of video conferencing. In this case, according to him, Yanukovych will take part in the trial via video link.
