"At the same time, I am convinced the evidence in the ruling of the first instance court is unfounded, and, in my opinion, unlawful," he said.
According to the MP, such evidence allegedly cannot serve as grounds for selecting a preventive measure.
"What the prosecution puts forward today is unfounded and politically motivated, and I also regard it as political repressions against me aimed at illegal criminal prosecution targeting me as a representative of a political party that opposes the political course of the incumbent government," he said.
Medvedchuk said he and his lawyers would rebuke the prosecutors' arguments.
