According to the local press, the Ukrainian High Anti-Corruption Court issued a detention order, for at least 60 days, that Solski can avoid if he pays a bail of 75.7 million hryvnias (1.78 million euros).
Solski submitted his resignation on Thursday - which must be accepted by the Ukrainian Parliament - after being charged this week by the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU).
According to NABU, before becoming a minister, Solski was part of a group that illegally appropriated around 2,500 hectares of land that belonged to the State, valued at 291 million hryvnias (around seven million euros).
The agency is also investigating the current minister for allegedly trying to transfer another set of public land, valued at 190 million hryvnias (4.5 million euros), to private individuals.
The events occurred, according to NABU, between 2017 and 2021. Solski was chairman of the Ukrainian parliament's Committee on Agrarian and Land Policy between 2019 and 2021, before being appointed minister in 2022.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has made the fight against corruption at the highest level one of his wartime priorities, in order to modernise the country and meet the requirements for accession to the European Union.
