"We'll try to find the truth in the Kyiv Court of Appeals," lawyer Serhiy Voichenko told journalists.

As reported, the Shevchenkivsky district court will continue the hearing on prolonging the detention of the second suspect Denys Polischuk on Friday. On Thursday, Polischuk fell ill in court and an ambulance was called for him.
