The police see no reason to open a criminal case in connection with the disappearance of Russian opposition campaigner Leonid Razvozzhayev, Chief of the Interior Ministry's Investigation Department Vasyl Farynnyk has said.

"He passed through the border at the Hoptivka checkpoint (in Kharkiv region). We know that he is currently in Moscow, and know his whereabouts, and therefore we have reason to open a criminal case," he said during a roundtable in the office of the Komsomolskaya Pravda in Ukraine newspaper in Kyiv on Thursday.
