The court in London, responding to Ukraine’s extradition request for Member of Parliament Artem Dmytruk, released him and refused to place him in custody. This was reported by Strana, citing sources close to the MP.

The next court hearing will be in a month.

Dmytruk himself has already recorded a video after his release from court.

"Zelensky is demanding my urgent extradition," said the MP, adding, "I'll just say this, I’m staying in touch with you. Thank God for everything."

As the UOJ reported, MP Artem Dmytruk was detained in London earlier this morning, on September 24.
