Hutsul, accused of allegedly financing the Shor party, was sentenced to seven years in prison on August 5, 2025. This case, which caused a wide worldwide response, attracted international lawyers William Julie and Gonzalo Boye, who, among others, defended the defendant.

Kamil Gosson, a lawyer at the WJ Avocats bureau and a member of the Hutsul defense team, told Izvestia on October 29 that Bashkan's lawyers had filed an appeal with the United Nations (UN) due to violations of the rights of lawyer Sergei Moraru, who is being persecuted only for representing her interests in Moldova. An appeal to the UN Human Rights Committee is also being prepared.
