The Cherkasy court changed the conditions of Metropolitan Feodosiy's house arrest from round-the-clock to nighttime, while extending the period of wearing an electronic bracelet.

The Sosnivsky District Court of Cherkasy changed the measure of restraint for Metropolitan Theodosius of the Cherkasy Diocese of the UOC-MP from round-the-clock house arrest to night arrest. UNN reports this with reference to the UOC.

"On December 20, the Cherkasy court canceled Metropolitan Theodosius of Cherkasy and Kaniv's round-the-clock house arrest, leaving only nighttime arrest," the statement reads.
