They leave Lviv: Ukrainians continue to travel to the Russian Federation - investigation (video)

While the prohibition was installed for official transportation, the carriers made business on trips to the aggressor. There are groups on social networks where flights to Moscow are published daily. For example, a trip from Lviv to Red Square costs from $ 300. The route of carriers is laid through Europe, including Poland, Lithuania and Latvia. "The main thing is to say on the border with Poland that you are going to Warsaw.

You then go quietly to Latvia and there you move to another bus, to Moscow. From the documents you need to have a foreign passport," - said in one of the ads. The popularity of such services can be judged by the frequency of travel. Carriers leave Lviv about once every two to three days. Transfer to Ukraine also work. The State Border Service stated that they are not able to turn people heading to Russia at the border, since it is impossible to determine their end point of travel.

"People go to Moscow for example. How can border guards be forbidden to go? We act under the law of Ukraine. If a person has no ban on leaving Ukraine through those functioning checkpoints, then we cannot miss it," - explained in Office. According to the lawyer, the fact that Ukrainians go to the Russian Federation for tourist purposes, there is no crime. At the same time, carriers thus violate the law.
