Yuriy Hrabovskiy, who stayed in a local hotel, went missing on March 5, reads the report.
Hrabovskiy's Facebook page contains a posting geotagged in Egypt's Sharm-el-Sheikh resort with explanations that he had to leave Ukraine: "Sorry to disappoint you, my friends!!! I had to leave Ukraine, not upon my own will. But I'm safe. I don't know when I'll return. If possible, iI will answer your questions. I want to return home very much."
Hrabovskiy's client, Aleksandr Aleksandrov, and another Russian citizen, Yevgeny Yerofeyev, were detained in the Ukrainian Donbas in May last year and later charged with terrorism.

As UNIAN reported earlier, Russia's Defense Ministry disowned the officers claiming they had already been dismissed from the ranks of the armed forces by the time they came to fight in Ukraine.
On March 9, a court in Kyiv was forced to reschedule Aleksandrov's trial to March 15 due to Hrabovskiy's absence.
