Ukrainian citizen Mykyta Panasenko has been released on bail by the court of New Jersey, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry has reported.

"According to Ukraine's consulate general in New York, Ukrainian citizen Mykyta Panasenko, who had substances that, according to law enforcers, could have been used to produce explosive devices was detained at Hoboken train station (New Jersey) on April 7," Acting Director of the Foreign Ministry's Information Policy Department Yevhen Perebyinis told Interfax-Ukraine on Friday.

He added that the Ukrainian was immediately released after he was identified, but on April 15, after the bombings in Boston, U.S. law enforcement officers conducted several operations during one of which Panasenko was arrested at his home.

According to the Foreign Ministry, on April 24, Hudson County Court brought the charges against the Ukrainian under several articles of the New Jersey Code of Laws.

"This citizen was immediately released on bail despite the charges," Perebyinis said.

He added that money or property bail had not been demanded from Panasenko.

As of Friday, April 26, Ukraine's consulate general in New York received no official reports about the arrest of this citizen, and Panasenko himself did not ask for assistance from diplomats.

Earlier on Friday, Panasenko wrote on his Facebook page that he was carrying homemade fireworks and planned to set them off in a forest.
