Investigators found that a resident of the Lviv region deceived citizens in the amount of almost 1.5 million UAH under the guise of selling non-existent drones for the army. Among the victims were volunteers and the head of a charity fund.
- The woman created fake profiles on social networks Instagram and Telegram to advertise military equipment and household appliances.
