A Ukrainian officer identified as Maryana Raka, involved in March's deadly traffic accident that killed a local child, was released by a Ukrainian appeals court on bail, according to Russian language news accounts.
A Ukrainian MTLB armored personnel carrier missed a turn in Konstantinovka March 16th and ran into a Ukrainian family, killing an eight year old girl and wounding two adults. At the time, it was widely reported the occupants of the MTLB, three Ukrainian soldiers, were drunk.
The accident sparked a brief riot that night which included several burned vehicles.
According to a news report in regnum.ru, a military prosecutor for the Zaparozhe military area, Mikail Ivlev called the decision by an appeals court in Zaparozhe, "unfounded and totally immoral."
The driver of the MTLB, identified as Roman Karpinets, was remanded to custody, meaning he will begin to serve his sentence.
As for the rioters, according to the head of the Ukrainian Donetsk Interior Ministry, Vyacheslav Abroskin, seven people were detained Thursday by Ukrainian authorities for their roles in the riots.
