In the trial, Yanukovych testified via video link from Moscow. His lawyer has said that the former president would not be able to follow the verdict because he is in hospital after sustaining injuries on a Moscow tennis court in November. Prosecutors have asked the court to sentence Yanukovych to 15 years.
