KIEV, June 2 – Kiev's Holosiyivsky district court on May 30 banned law-enforcement agencies from paying $3 billion of the credit to the Russian Federation taken in December 2013 when Viktor Yanukovych was Ukrainian president.

The Sila Prava movement chaired by former lawmaker from the Batkivschyna Party Andriy Senchenko said on its website that judge Mykola Shkyrai satisfied the application for securing the claim of a representative of Sila Prava and acting head of Luhansk Regional Administration in May through September 2014 Iryna Verhina against Russia. Verhina demanded compensation for her moral and material losses caused by Russia's military aggression against Ukraine and occupation of a part of the territory of Luhansk region by Russia.
