Vasyl Gatsko, leader of the Democratic Alliance party and Kyiv City Council deputy, was implicated in smuggling goods into the ATO zone.
On June 27, the State Border Service detained five vehicles carrying food products to the ATO zone without proper documentation. The cargo was valued at approximately 100,000 hryvnias. A telephone conversation ensued in which a man identifying himself to Kyiv City Council members as Vasyl Hatsko requested permission to allow the contraband into the occupied territory.
The second incident occurred on July 29 at a checkpoint in the Luhansk region, where two of the previously detained vehicles carrying contraband were spotted. The drivers claimed to be carrying baby diapers, but they had no documentation for the cargo, and an inspection revealed Parliament cigarettes and Bolivar cigars.
It should also be noted that earlier media reports indicated that Democratic Alliance leader Gatsko had previously engaged in illegal cargo transportation to the ATO zone, giving part of the profits to the "LPR administration" in the city of Bryanka.
