"I was flying abroad for personal reasons, just three days. I returned from London today and was unexpectedly stopped at passport control, and all my documents were confiscated. I waited for about an hour (at Boryspil Airport – editor's note), then I was invited into a special room, where I was told the border service's decision to deny me entry," Inter TV channel quotes Kisilev as saying.
According to him, behind the detention there is either a mistake or a political motive.
“Perhaps I was confused with my Russian namesake, Dmitry Kiselev,” the TV presenter suggested, and also put forward another version - the reason is too active criticism of the country’s leadership because of the “Ilovaisk tragedy.”
Assistant to the head of the State Border Service of Ukraine Sergei Astakhov confirmed Kiselev’s detention at the airport. “Indeed, at the border, at the Boryspil airport, a situation arose around this citizen, it is being resolved. Let's wait a little, there will be official information. There was an order from one of the authorized state bodies,” he said, noting that we are not talking about deportation, since Kiselev was not allowed to cross the state border.
At 18:00 it became known that Kiselev was allowed into Ukraine.
