Obolonsky District Court of Kyiv has rescheduled the meeting on the case of high treason of former Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych for March 6 because of another trip of his lawyers to the Russian Federation.

At a meeting on Wednesday Judge Vladyslav Deviatko read out motions from the defendant's lawyers stating that their client needs urgent legal assistance and they need to arrive in Russia not later than February 26, an Interfax-Ukraine correspondent reported.
