Kyiv Court Releases Russian Journalist Vyshinsky From Custody Ahead Of Trial

RFE/RL'S UKRAINIAN SERVICE

   KYIV - A Kyiv court has ruled that Russian journalist Kirill Vyshinsky,
   who is in detention in Ukraine on high treason charges, can be released
   on his own recognizance as he awaits trial.

   The Kyiv Court of Appeal handed down the ruling Wednesday, saying he
   must inform the court about any change of residence and that he must
   refrain from any contact with witnesses in his case.

   He will not be required to wear an electronic bracelet, it added.

   Vyshinsky, the head of Russia's state-run RIA Novosti's office in
   Ukraine, was arrested in May 2018 and faces up to 15 years in prison if
   found guilty.
