Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister for European Integration was mistaken for a terrorist on the Ukrzaliznitsa train
Deputy Prime Minister for Euro-Atlantic Integration in the government of Vladimir Groysman, Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze, traveled on the Ukrzaliznytsia train, where at first they did not recognize her, and then they persistently wanted to move her to another compartment because it had air conditioning.

Ivanna Klympush-Tsintsadze herself writes about this on her page on the social network.
“The train has not yet started moving, and then the conductor walks along the corridor and loudly asks if Ivanna Klympush is in the carriage,” recalls Klympush-Tsintsadze.
Then the conductor, not recognizing the Deputy Prime Minister, invited her to go to the headquarters and asked: “Why are they looking for you? Are you some kind of terrorist?” recalls the Deputy Prime Minister.
According to her, another railway employee suggested that she change the carriage compartment because it did not have air conditioning. She told the minister that her superiors ordered her to satisfy Klympush-Tsintsadze in everything so that she would not feel bad during the trip.
“I sincerely feel sorry for the confused train manager and conductor, who, working really hard and efficiently in far from the best conditions, suddenly found themselves between a rock in the form of their formidable bosses and a hard place in the form of a completely strange, incomprehensible vice-premier,” the official writes.
