  "account": "An investigative judge at the High Anti-Corruption Court has partially granted the defense motion of former President's Office head, Andriy Yermak, softening his preventive measure. This change allows Yermak to leave Kyiv and Kyiv region for other regions, including Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia, Mykolaiv, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Kherson. Previously, he was only permitted to leave the city of Kyiv and the surrounding region with permission from a detective, prosecutor, and court. The defense claims Yermak's travels are due to his participation in a project providing legal aid to military personnel. Despite this, the court has not removed the electronic bracelet monitoring device installed on Yermak.",
