Ukrainian MP Nadiia Savchenko, who is under arrest, has said that she cannot file an electronic income declaration, because she does not have technical capabilities due to her stay in a detention center.

"There is such a thing as an electronic signature. I have to do it myself, but I have no access to the Internet, to a computer. I cannot do it, because I am limited in my freedom, my powers, and my duties," she told journalists after a court session on Wednesday, April 18.

On April 10, the press service of the National Agency on Corruption Prevention (NACP) reported that as of April 1, five Ukrainian MPs, including Savchenko, had not submitted their income declarations for 2017.

On March 23, the Shevchenkivsky District Court of Kyiv ruled to place Savchenko in custody until May 20.
