The ruling allows for a bail option set at 12 million hryvnias. Thus, the court partially granted the prosecution's request, which sought the defendant's detention for a period of 60 days without specifying a bail amount. The defense argued for a personal guarantee or house arrest.
Nazarov stated that he would appeal the verdict, claiming he committed "not a single crime, especially the one he is accused of."
Nazarov was a host on the channels "Наш" and NewsOne, owned by former MPs Viktor Medvedchuk and Yevgeny Muraev (who are accused of treason). On January 18, Nazarov was notified of suspicion for justifying Russia's armed aggression against Ukraine.
According to the investigation, he disseminated videos with pro-Russian narratives on his YouTube channel, particularly suggesting that Russia had reasons for invading Ukraine.
