Flights to Crimea – Ukraine arrested 13 more Russian planes

It is reported that these planes violated the procedure for entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Crimea. Thus, they acted contrary to the rules of foreign flights and illegally smuggled people across the state border of Ukraine.

The arrest was imposed within the framework of criminal proceedings opened under the following articles of the Criminal Code of Ukraine:

• h. 1 tbsp. 111 (high treason);
• h.h. 2.3 tbsp. 332 (illegal transfer of persons across the state border of Ukraine);
• h. 2 tbsp. 332-1 (violation of the procedure for entering and leaving the temporarily occupied territory of Ukraine);
• Art. 334 (the moment of acquiring ownership under the contract).

According to the investigation, today 37 Russian airlines fly to Crimea. The seizure and further investigative actions will allow limiting the flights of these air carriers’ aircraft, including to European countries.

A total of 249 Russian aircraft have already been arrested for flights to the occupied peninsula.
