Ukraine's State Border Service says that former Prosecutor General Viktor Pshonka and former Income and Tax Minister Oleksandr Klymenko have made an attempt to flee Ukraine.
“Following law enforcement agencies’ instructions, the State Border Service barred citizens Pshonka and Klymenko, who were identified by border guards at the Donetsk Avia checkpoint, from leaving the country,” State Border Service spokesman Serhiy Astakhov told Interfax-Ukraine on Saturday evening.
The bodyguards of Pshonka and Klymenko resisted to the border guards in the airport’s VIP lounge, which let the two leave the airport’s building.
They did not make a second attempt to fly from Ukraine, thus they should be in the country now, Astakhov said.
