First they collected for a quadrocopter, and now for a lawyer: a Russian trucker was detained in Estonia for trying to take a drone out of the country for the army

Residents of Russia have been diligently raising money for an unmanned aerial vehicle for their army. But now

I'll have to raise a little more money for a lawyer for a Russian who bought a drone but couldn't get it out of Estonia.

What is known

A funny story happened to a resident of Pskovskayaareas. A certain Vladimir Shilov works as a truck driver. He decided to support his army and launched a fundraiser on social networks for a quadcopter. He went to buy it in Estonia, of which he also has citizenship. While attempting to leave the country with a drone, a Russian was detained by local security police.

Shilov was taken into custody and now he is threatenedimprisonment for up to five years. The Estonian authorities regarded the actions of a resident of Russia as support for an act of aggression by a foreign state. Shilov can call home once a week. Now the wife of the prisoner is raising funds for the services of a lawyer for her husband.
