The ex-Minister of Energy was removed from the train.
A source from "Ukrainska Pravda" clarifies that border guards had a request from special services regarding Galushchenko — to obtain information in the event of his attempt to cross the border. Such a practice is applied when a person is involved in criminal cases.
Galushchenko, along with businessman Timur Mindich, is one of the key figures in a corruption case involving Volodymyr Zelenskyy's inner circle.
Last November, Galushchenko was dismissed, but he remained at large.
