"Currently, both defendants are detained in accordance with Article 208 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Ukraine. The issue of notifying them of suspicion under part 3 of Article 369-2 (abuse of influence) of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and the selection of preventive measures is being resolved," the investigation continues. 

How in Ukraine they detain criminals who make money from evasion 

Since the introduction of martial law in Ukraine, there have been restrictions on the departure of men abroad.

However, since the first days, evaders try to escape from Ukraine: they change into women's clothes, buy fake certificates and try to escape from Ukraine.

Fraudsters who offer their "services" to men make good money from this. 

The State Border Service reported that since the beginning of martial law in Ukraine, 11 men have died while trying to illegally cross the border.

Since the beginning of martial law, border guards have detained more than 8,000 men for attempting to cross the border illegally.

Earlier, an employee of the city council was detained in Lviv.

She is suspected of helping men flee abroad for $1,300.
