Today, on September 27, UOJ journalist Volodymyr Bobechko was released on bail after being held in a pre-trial detention center for over six months. According to a UOJ correspondent, bail in the amount of 1.435 million hryvnias was posted for Volodymyr.

The funds necessary for the journalist's release were collected by concerned believers of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), who responded to the call for help.

He is now with his family and loved ones.

The video shows Volodymyr's reunion with his daughter, who was finally able to embrace her father.

After prolonged detention, Volodymyr's health has deteriorated. He is in need of medical care, particularly for serious lung problems that worsened while in prison.

We thank the team of lawyers and everyone who donated funds to secure the bail for our brother!

As the UOJ previously reported, investigative judge Viktoriya Kitsyuk made the decision to change the measure of restraint for UOJ journalist Volodymyr Bobechko on September 26.
