Volunteer Svyatoslav Litinsky was searched by the police

The volunteer wrote about this on his Facebook page.

Svyatoslav Litinsky has been helping servicemen of the Armed Forces since the beginning of the Russian war against Ukraine in 2014, Radio Liberty reports.

When Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine on February 24, he stepped up his activities and began to bring cars from abroad for the APU fighters. Litinsky constantly reports on his activities and publicly announces when he imports a car, repairs it and transfers it to the front. The volunteer group, in which Svyatoslav Litinsky works, has imported 250 vehicles for the Ukrainian Armed Forces since February 24, Radio Liberty reports.

They actually entered the apartment by deceit, because they said about the summons, but showed the decision of the Goloseevsky court of Kyiv on the search. The search is traumatic, both for the wife and children. As far as I understand, law enforcement agencies suspect the chaplain about the illegal sale of humanitarian aid, that is, a car. But this has nothing to do with me,” Litinsky commented to Radio Liberty.

Investigators are investigating: "the facts of illegal use for profit of vehicles imported into the territory of Ukraine as humanitarian aid by a group of residents of Kyiv, Kyiv and Lvov regions."

According to preliminary information, Lviv residents appear in the criminal proceedings of the Kyiv Department of the National Police on the illegal sale of humanitarian aid, namely cars.

Police have not yet commented on the search at the volunteer's home.

Svyatoslav Litinsky told Radio Liberty that some people call the volunteer group every day asking them to sell the car.

They call and ask us to sell humanitarian aid in Lvov. This is a special provocation, similar to that of other volunteers. They say that they really need a car in Lviv. My answer is always that we do not sell cars, but we can help bring them from Poland and Germany and we will pay there, and we will help bring and repair them, but on the condition that they are handed over to the army. But they are willing to wait two or three weeks for us to deliver. This is such a provocation,” says Svyatoslav Litinsky.

This situation discourages volunteering, but they won’t stop us,” the volunteer said.
