The High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) reduced the amount of bail for the leader of the parliamentary faction Batkivshchyna, Yulia Tymoshenko, from 33,28 million to 266 thousand UAH. The judge Oleh Tkachenko issued the decision at the request of the deputy herself, and the difference between the previous and new bail amounts is to be returned to the people who contributed the money.

This was reported by the Novyny.LIVE portal with reference to Ukrainska Pravda.

Tymoshenko bail reduced

During the court session Tymoshenko asked to review the preventive measure applied to her in terms of the amount of bail.

“I do indeed ask the court to change the preventive measure imposed on me in the form of bail by reducing its amount from 33 million 280 thousand hryvnias to 266 thousand 240 hryvnias,” the deputy said.

The judge granted the motion and reduced the bail almost 125 times. Previously paid funds that exceed the new bail amount are subject to return to the bail sponsors.

What Yulia Tymoshenko is suspected of

In January 2026 year the NABU and the SAPU notified of a scheme involving the head of the parliamentary faction, who is suspected of offering improper benefits to MPs for voting on bills.

The case was preliminarily qualified under part 4 of article 369 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine.

Anti-corruption bodies released recordings of conversations in which, according to them, the payment for voting in the Verkhovna Rada was discussed. Tymoshenko rejected the accusations and stated that the recordings were falsified. She also denied that she ever offered money to MPs for votes.

As a reminder, previously the Novyny.LIVE portal reported that the court denied Tymoshenko access to part of the NABU materials within the criminal proceedings. The defense asked to provide documents related to investigative actions and evidence collected by detectives. The court did not grant the defense’s motion.

Also, Novyny.LIVE reported that during the court session Tymoshenko stated there were discrepancies between the expert reports in her case. The politician drew attention to differences in the conclusions of experts and questioned the reliability of part of the prosecution’s evidence. The defense used these discrepancies as one of the arguments of its position.
