KYIV (Reuters) – Ukrainian prosecutors have asked a Kyiv court to set the bail conditions for opposition lawmaker Viktor Medvedchuk at 300 million hryvnia ($10.85 million) or else want him to be arrested, prosecutors said in a statement on Thursday.
Medvedchuk, the Kremlin’s most prominent ally in Ukraine, was formally notified this week in a treason case that he says is fabricated.
