Making money from photos of roadblocks - trespassers apprehended in Kyiv

This was reported by the Kyiv Live portal.

The other day, law enforcers detained men who were taking photos of critical infrastructure. The first incident took place on Reserve Street: law enforcers spotted a man who was not very happy to meet police officers and was visibly nervous. During ID check an application was found on the 26 year old citizen's phone, through which he was taking photos of infrastructure objects in Kiev and receiving rewards for doing so.

Another case happened in Bogatyrska Street. Patrol officers found a 42-year-old photographer in possession of binoculars, recording equipment and a camera with images of checkpoints and military facilities in Kyiv.

In both cases, the detainees were taken to the police department to establish the circumstances.

We shall remind you that under Article 114-2 of the Criminal Code, under martial law, the dissemination of information about the movement, movement or location of the Ukrainian Armed Forces faces from five to eight years in prison.
