"In any case, such an action is illegal, because visiting occupied Crimea is a violation of national law. When entering Ukraine through the border post, he will have to pay a fine of about 3,500 hryvnia (about 8,300 rubles)," Slobodyan said.
Earlier, Petrovsky posted a video on YouTube sharing his impressions of the trip on the Crimean bridge.
"Ukrainians, I want to tell you that this bridge is not a pontoon bridge, it is a real bridge! The quality is very good! I filmed everything on camera and will definitely post it soon. Well, my first impression is that it is great, really good! Simply very good! They said and did it!" - said Petrovsky.
