- The High Anti-Corruption Court said it received the ₴20 million bail for former Supreme Court deputy Bohdan Lvov on October 29.
- Judicial obligations set for Lvov include appearing on demand, reporting any change of residence or employment, avoiding contact with specified individuals, surrendering foreign passports, and wearing an electronic monitor.
- On October 20, an investigating judge cut Lvov’s bail nearly fifteenfold from ₴302.8 million to ₴20 million.
- The Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office has stated it will appeal the decision to reduce the bail.
- Lvov is a suspect in aiding the misappropriation of the Ukrainian section of the Samara–West oil-products pipeline, with damages estimated at about ₴1.4 billion, while separate 2022 findings on alleged Russian citizenship led to his removal from the Supreme Court and remain disputed.
