Olha Stefanishyna was ordered to appear when summoned by NABU detectives, the prosecutor, and the court. She was also prohibited from communicating with witnesses in the case.
The High Anti-Corruption Court set a preventive measure for the former Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration and former Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna, in the form of a 6 million UAH bail. This was reported by the Anti-Corruption Action Center (AntAC) on Thursday, 6 August.
"Yesterday (5 August – ed.) the High Anti-Corruption Court held a hearing to choose a preventive measure for the former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, Olha Stefanishyna. Today the judge announced the decision – bail of 6 million UAH. This decision was made by Judge Nohachevskyi," the report says.
As Suspilne and Hromadske report, Stefanishyna was ordered to appear when summoned by NABU detectives, the prosecutor, and the court, and to notify them of any change of residence or whereabouts.
In addition, the court prohibited her from communicating with witnesses in the case.
The investigation believes that in June–July of 2024 Stefanishyna instructed her friend Tetiana Mazurenko to purchase two apartments in the Faina Town residential complex.
After the hearing, Stefanishyna told reporters that she and members of her family are receiving threats.
She also said that she has further plans for work, but they are not related to public service.
The next court hearing was scheduled for 10 October at 15:00.
As is known, on 5 July Olha Stefanishyna was handed a suspicion notice, and the High Anti-Corruption Court began selecting a preventive measure for her. That evening it became known that the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office requested 13,3 million in bail for Stefanishyna.
Recall that on 3 August Olha Stefanishyna was dismissed from the position of Ambassador of Ukraine to the United States. Media reported that she requested the end of her diplomatic service for personal reasons.
In 16 July 2025 the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office announced that it had registered a criminal proceeding in which it is checking the facts set out in a journalistic investigation involving Stefanishyna.
The Ukrainian Pravda investigation said that ARMA designated a company to manage the House of Trade Unions in Kyiv that may be connected to Stefanishyna’s ex-husband. Stefanishyna, in turn, emphasized that she is not connected to her former husband's activities.
Earlier, media reported that Stefanishyna also appears in the so‑called "Lukash case," which is already before the High Anti-Corruption Court. This concerns the case in which former Justice Minister Olena Lukash and other defendants are accused of embezzling in 2013–2014 years funds totaling 2 million 523 thousand UAH that were allocated for adapting national legislation to EU law. During that period Stefanishyna headed a department of the Ministry of Justice.
