At the "Ustyluh" customs post, an antique Tula samovar was discovered and confiscated. As it turned out, a resident of Volodymyr-Volynskyi was trying to transport an undeclared item of the Russian tea ceremony abroad. He was transporting the samovar, produced in 1898, in the cabin of his "Volkswagen." Experts from the regional museum of local history will establish the real value of the detained samovar in the near future. As reported by the press secretary of the Yahodyn customs, Svitlana Fedoniuk, the antique item was made by master Vasyl Batashov in Tula. Customs officials say that recently they have been detaining more and more samovars here. This year alone, more than a dozen of them have been confiscated.
