The Myrotvorets website says Assad is involved in the deliberate organization of the violation of the Ukrainian border by his underage children who visited Russian-occupied Crimea (Article 331, 331-1 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine). He is also involved in participation in anti-Ukrainian propaganda by the aggressor country (Russia) and in attempts to legalize the annexation of Crimea.
Assad's three children – Kareem, Hafez and Zain – vacationed in the famed ex-Soviet youth camp Artek in Russian-occupied Crimea in 2017. The information was confirmed by Artek's director Aleksey Kasprzhak
In keeping with the current Ukraine entry/exit rules, the only lawful way of entering Russian-occupied Crimea is to cross the administrative border between mainland Ukraine and the Crimean peninsula.
