I am going to be honest with you guys about a couple of things...1) I am really trying hard not to get the company sued for illegal photo usage in this blog. Hence all the twitter embeds because every publication is sourcing that rocket from something called east2westnews and that definitely has the sound of a publication just waiting to sue people who illegally hosting their pictures. 2) I don't know if that is the wife or the daughter pictured there. The wife is Anastasia. The daughter of this Ukrainian guy is a 24 year old grad student in Switzerland (of course) and she has been the one offering statements via social media. Her account immediately below

At this time I'd like to address the opening paragraph with full transparency...I know the daughter is not the mom. I just felt she should be included in this blog for obvious reasons. Now back to the blog
A criminal case has been opened into a failure by Anastasia Kotvitska to declare the removal of the large sum from the war-ravaged country, say reports in Kyiv.
Kotvitsky - once Ukraine’s wealthiest MP - said his wife was leaving the country to give birth, but denied reports she was carrying $28 million and 1.3 million euros.
'All my money is in Ukrainian banks, I did not take anything out,' he said, before closing his social media account.
A statement from him carried on the social media of his Swiss-educated daughter Violetta, 24, said the story was 'fake and rumours'.
Kotvitska, who reportedly travelled with two Hungarian men and her mother, has not commented on the frontier incident.
The allegation is that she did not declare the huge cash sum exiting Ukraine at the Vilok checkpoint, but the money was found by Hungarian customs officers, said Obozrevatel newspaper.
Can you imagine the rush of traveling with $29M in cash? I got hot in Vegas during the Chiclets Cup at the Blackjack table and left with like $2000 in cash. I felt kinda rich, cash rich at least, in that moment. And I was just going back to Chicago. I can't even imagine what it'd be like to be carrying so much cash that you need to hire servants to help you carry it across the border in a war torn country. My god.
Here is what I don't understand…where is the crime? It's illegal to carry cash? People have been fleeing war zones with their money since the beginning of time. Can't trust banks and wire services these days in those areas so you just empty the vault behind the priceless work of art in your enormous mansion and hit the road with your bodyguards. I don't see the problem. The only problem is with the execution. You have 29 million dollars cash. You're in a Hungarian refugee camp. Some of that 29 million has to be earmarked for bribes. Security opens up one of your bags and you simply look at them and say…are you my uber driver? That bag there is yours if you drive us to Zurich? Then you stash that money in your Swiss account that your husband DEFINITELY already has and you go on your merry way to like Lake Cuomo or something and ride out the war sipping champagne and watching cable news for updates like the rest of us. That's how the world works. I am not rich, but I bet my $2000 from blackjack would've got me out of that jam in Hungary. Figure it out.
