Background:

• On 15 September, it became known that the Security Service of Ukraine had searched the home of MP Nestor Shufrych, elected from the now-banned pro-Russian party Opposition Platform – For Life. St George's ribbons, medals and coats of the Russian armed forces were found in his possession.
• The Security Service of Ukraine also found a document with a plan for the autonomy of Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts, dated 2014, signed by former MP Viktor Medvedchuk, who is now deprived of Ukrainian citizenship, and Shufrych himself.
• At the same time, the court imposed a measure of restraint for Shufrych, a detention for two months without the right to bail.
