A number of former Ukrainian officials probably visited Russia more than once during the war. At least this information is contained in the leaked scanned copies of documents of the Russian Federal Security Service's border service, UNN reports.
As follows from the information in these documents, the largest number of visits to Russia since the beginning of the war in 2014 was made by Andriy Smirnov, the former Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, who is now suspected by NABU of illegal enrichment. The documents indicate a person whose name and date of birth coincide with Smirnov's, and this person visited Russia 22 times since the beginning of the war in Donbas and almost until the full-scale invasion of Russia.
The documents also include a person named Andrey Yevgenyevich Kostin with the same date of birth as the recently dismissed Prosecutor General. This person has been to Russia 11 times since the beginning of the war. The last time was just two weeks before the presidential election - on March 19, 2019.
The leaked documents also include a person with data matching that of Yuriy Vaskov, a former Deputy Minister of Infrastructure of Ukraine. This Vaskov visited Russia for the first time during the war in June 2015, and after that he made 18 more trips to the aggressor country.
It should be added that leaks from Russian state databases have occurred repeatedly.
