A Japanese retired volunteer who came to Ukraine at the beginning of the massive Russian invasion to help us get through this war was fined for overstaying in our country. He had to leave for Poland. Whether he will return is still unknown.
That Fuminori Tsuchiko detained by Ukrainian border guards, wrote on Facebook Sasha Fedorenko from Kievtraveling to Poland on the same bus with a volunteer.
“One of the passengers, a foreigner, violated the term of stay in Ukraine. Our border guards took him out and kept him for a long time… Passengers are indignant, the driver jokes: now he still doesn’t have enough money to pay the fine, you’ll just walk around to move faster. That foreigner is already telling the border guards: listen, I changed my mind about leaving Ukraine, I just wanted to go to Poland for a couple of days, God bless her. Give me back my papers, let’s pretend I wasn’t here. I’d rather take a walk around Lviv! The guards are adamant: violated, caught - leave, get a visa, then come back. But first, the protocol, the fine. In short, he got on the bus only an hour and a half … He walked through the entire cabin, from beginning to end, and at every step he apologized to the passengers for the delay“.
As already wrote, after retiring, Tsuchiko traveled the world. Last year, in February, he was in Poland, where many Ukrainians fled from the war. The Japanese decided to go to Kharkiv, where he lived in the subway for 9 months and helped Kharkiv residents. And when the Russians were driven away from the city, he sold his house in Japan and announced that he would be in Ukraine until the victory. Raised funds, volunteered, helped dozens of pensioners, with whom he became friends under the bombing.
Although citizens of Japan enjoy visa-free travel in Ukraine, they can stay with us for no more than 90 days for every six months. Fumi, as his Kharkov friends call him, exceeded this term considerably, which became clear when he needed to go to Poland for a few days. Of course, the law is sometimes stupid, but it is the law, to paraphrase the Latins.
As FACTS previously reported, ex-captain of the Ukrainian national team Anatoly Tymoshchuk was banned from entering his homeland for ten years.

I firmly believe that the best way to learn about something is by doing it yourself and that is why I love my job so much. It allows me to be constantly learning about new things and then sharing that knowledge with others.
I am also a big believer in the power of networking and building relationships. I think that LinkedIn is a great platform for connecting with like-minded people from all over the world.
