Huzhva claims Ukraine is pressuring Austria through diplomatic channels in relation to his case.
Kyiv's Shevchenkivsky district court has ruled to send to the budget UAH 1.35 million of bail paid for editor-in-chief of the online newspaper Strana.ua Ihor Huzhva and warranted law enforcers to bring him to court by force to decide on arresting him.
The court handed down the relevant decision on February 5, according to Ukrainian Prosecutor General's press secretary Larysa Sargan.

Huzhva confirmed this information, noting that the authorities organized pressure on Austria where he is at the moment.
"Yesterday, the court ordered to detain me and deliver to court (if this does not happen, the next step is putting me on a wanted list.) At the same time, Bankova ordered to set up pressure on Austria through diplomatic channels in order to ensure my extradition," Huzhva wrote on Facebook.
