The Kyiv Court of Appeals changed the preventive measure of Kyiv City Council member Yaryna Aryeva, who is suspected of a road accident, to 24-hour house arrest with a bracelet.

The suspect was also charged with the following duties: not to leave her place of residence without the permission of the investigator, prosecutor, or court, to notify the investigator, prosecutor, or court of a change of residence, to hand over her passport for traveling abroad. The decision is valid until July 22, 2023.
