The meeting will begin at ten o'clock in the morning. On the eve of Yanukovych's lawyer Vitaly Serdyuk stated that it is possible to plan Yanukovych's participation in court only after clarifying the decision on the videoconference of May 4.

In turn, the prosecutor of the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office, the prosecution's representative in the case of Viktor Yanukovych's state treasurer, said that Yanukovych's defense does not need to wait for a summons to the Rostov court to participate in court in videoconference mode.

Recall, on March 14, the Military Prosecutor's Office submitted an indictment against Yanukovych to court. The GPU suspects him of committing crimes stipulated in the articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "State treason", "Aiding in intentional acts committed with the aim of changing the borders of the territory and state border of Ukraine" and "Aiding in an aggressive war".

Obolonsky District Court of Kyiv on May 4 began a preparatory meeting in the case of Yanukovych's government. The defense asked the court to postpone the preparatory meeting until the decision of the Court of Appeal to change the jurisdiction of the case, but the petition was rejected. The court also authorized the organization of a videoconference for Yanukovych's participation in the session on the case on state change and appointed him on May 18.

As reported URA-Inform, the Rostov regional court to organize a videoconference for questioning the former president of Ukraine Viktor Yanukovych in the case of high treason will not be. The court did not receive an official appeal from the Ukrainian side.
