The civilian man looked for those willing to leave Ukraine outside the checkpoints, and to implement the plan, he involved his familiar inspector of the border service.
The official was well oriented on the terrain and knew the approximate location of the border units.
According to the developed plan, the organizer brought “evaders” to a gas station near the border in the Chernivtsi region. From there, some of the men got into the law enforcement officer’s car, others rode behind. Then they headed to the border zone, where the official was supposed to lead them through the forest and indicate the direction to the state border, which was 2-3 km away.
