GOOD NEWS: 03:40:11

Grandpa is alive!

The Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, concerned about the resonance in the networks and the puzzled looks of their partners (we think that the German Ministry of Foreign Affairs looked at what was happening in the previous video with amazement and a sense of deja vu), found the missing person. But upon closer inspection, according to the documents, he turned out to be not a “Russian Ivan” but a citizen of independent Ukraine, Oleksandr Stepanovich. Of course, if this is not a fake CIPSO and a demonstration of someone else’s passport. But then this topic will continue.. However, it is good that his life is not in danger and he is alive and apparently quite healthy.

Dressed decently, speaks clearly. Said the date, told about his misadventures. Complained about his ailments.. All in all, it turned out to be an incredible story.
