The defense team of former president Viktor Yanukovych accused of high treason says that the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has officially given the address of Yanukovych in Rostov-on-Don to the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine.

Lawyer Vitalii Serdiuk announced this at a sitting of the Kyiv Appeal Court, Ukrainian News Agency reports.

He says the Prosecutor General's Office of Ukraine received the official answer from the Russian colleagues on March 9, 2017.

The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation insists that Yanukovych lives at the following address: building B, 81 Yeriomenko Street, Roston-on-Don.

Yanukovych has given written confirmation that he is ready to take part in actions in the proceedings but in Rostov-on-Don.

The lawyers requested the Kyiv Appeal Court to send summons to the address of Yanukovych in Russia and provide his participation in the proceedings.

The Kyiv Appeal Court rejected this motion.

As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on March 14, 2017, the Chief Military Prosecutor's Office sent to the Kyiv Pecherskyi District Court the indictment against Yanukovych.

The Kyiv Appeal Court will define the territorial jurisdiction of the case against former president Viktor Yanukovych accused of high treason on March 28, 2017.
