"As it turned out, residents of Lviv, Dnipro, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Odesa regions turned to the organizer, the administrator of one of the telegram channels, to implement their illegal intentions. The latter cooperated with an accomplice, a driver who was to transport all the passengers and stay in neighboring Moldova," the SBS said.
For help with online navigation, the organizer asked each participant to pay from USD 7 to 10 thousand to a crypto wallet. Border guards thwarted the intentions of the offenders.
