“On April 30, Pechersk district court, despite the prosecutor’s motion to extend the duties of the accused metropolitan in full, granted the motion in part. The court decision did not extend him the duty to wear an electronic control device,” – stated in the message.

Nevertheless, according to the Kyiv regional Prosecutor’s office, the metropolitan remains under house arrest.

“However, the accused is still obliged not to leave the place of his residence without a court decision, except for urgent cases involving danger to life and health. Also he must refrain from communicating with victims and witnesses in criminal proceedings”, – note in the Prosecutor’s office.

Now the bishop will be able to leave home in order to visit medical institutions. The corresponding decision was made by the Pechersky district court of Kiev on January 23, 2024.
