A measure of restraint has been imposed on Nazarov, the former host of pro-Russian channels linked to Medvedchuk.

The former host of pro-Russian channels, Max Nazarov, has been remanded in custody, as he will be taken into custody.

This was reported by Yaroslav Yurchyshyn, the head of the Committee of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine on Freedom of Speech, in his Telegram channel.

"The Solomyansky District Court of Kyiv has chosen a measure of restraint for the former host of the channels 'Our' and NewsOne, Max Nazarov (Maxim Diordyka) - detention for 60 days with the possibility of bail set at 12 million hryvnias," he wrote.

Yurchyshyn also added that the court partially satisfied the prosecution's request, which sought to keep Nazarov in custody for 60 days without determining a bail amount. The defense requested personal commitment or house arrest.

What is known about Max Nazarov

As reported by UNIAN, recently the Security Service of Ukraine stated that they gathered evidence confirming the anti-Ukrainian activities of the former host of the channels 'Our' and NewsOne, which were owned by Viktor Medvedchuk and Yevheniy Murayev.

According to media reports, the individual in question is radio and television host Max Nazarov (real name - Nazar Ruslanovych Diordytsia).

According to the case materials, after the onset of Russia's full-scale war against Ukraine, the former host created his own channel on the video hosting platform YouTube, where he continued to disseminate Kremlin narratives.

The Service noted that the former host, in particular, invited pro-Russian "political experts" to his broadcasts, many of whom are now hiding in Russia.
