The decision to keep Mykytas in detention, with an alternative bail option of UAH 30 million, was ruled unchanged by the appellate panel. Mykytas participated in the hearing via video link and denied any claims of violence during pretrial detention, stating, \"No, what violence? Against me? There wasn’t...\" Both Mykytas and Iryna Mudra, another suspect in the case, remain in custody as they have not posted bail.",
