He said that Nadia’s health condition is better, and she started eating a little. He told me that she was given the papers to fill, for her return to Ukraine. There she has to admit she crossed the border and sought asylum. The lawyer said that she burst out laughing," said Nadia's mother.
"There is also a fine. Polozov explained that there is a provision saying that if she didn't pay the fine, then these documents would not be considered valid. So she agreed. She has no money, but the consuls gave her [RUB] 40,000, and [RUB] 30,000 she paid as the fine. She told Russians to choke on this money,” she said.
