Another accused individual spoke about the promised money contingent on crossing the Ukrainian border.

“We went to Kyiv, where we were supposed to wait for the money—1 million rubles each. Saifullo said that there would be guys at the Ukrainian border to help us cross and reach Kyiv… The coordinator said, ‘Call, then I will tell you what to do,’” the defendant recounted.
