Kateryna Shypilova, an HACC employee, said this in a comment to Ukrinform.
"UAH 6 million bail has been posted for the former Ukrainian ambassador to the United States," she said.
On August 6, the HACC ordered Stefanishyna to post UAH 6 million in bail as a preventive measure.
She is also required to appear when summoned by NABU detectives, the prosecutor, the investigating judge or the court, depending on the stage of the criminal proceedings; notify NABU detectives, the prosecutor or the court of any change of residence, depending on the stage of the proceedings; and refrain from communicating with persons specified in the investigating judge's ruling.
Stefanishyna has been notified of suspicion of illicit enrichment and declaring inaccurate information.
On August 3, President Volodymyr Zelensky dismissed Stefanishyna as Ukraine's ambassador to the United States. Prior to that, she served as the special envoy for developing cooperation with the United States, and earlier as Deputy Prime Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration of Ukraine.
On July 16, 2025, the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) said it had opened criminal proceedings to investigate allegations outlined in a journalistic investigation involving Stefanishyna.
The investigation by the Ukrainska Pravda news outlet reported that the Asset Recovery and Management Agency (ARMA) had selected a company to manage the House of Trade Unions on Independence Square in Kyiv that may be linked to Stefanishyna's former husband.

Stefanishyna, for her part, stressed that she had no connection to her former husband's activities.
In addition, Transparency International Ukraine reported that Stefanishyna also appears in the so-called Lukash case, which is already being heard by the HACC. The case concerns allegations that former Justice Minister Olena Lukash and other defendants misappropriated UAH 2.523 million in 2013-2014 that had been allocated to bring Ukrainian legislation into line with EU law. At the time, Stefanishyna headed a department at the Justice Ministry.
