It still could be impersonation but a couple different people have confirmed it's real:

Don't you think some fuel tankers in Poland would be happy to take that money (with permission and insurance from the government)? A tanker can carry about 8000 gallons, so that's maybe $32,000 per tanker. The driver might have to be a brave Ukrainian though, if Russia isn't worried about attacking civilian targets.

I don’t know what delusional dream world you live in, but back in the real world cash exchangers in Kyiv have been processing bigger amounts on a daily basis.

Just a few months ago I was able to get 100k USD in cash a couple of hours after contacting a local exchanger. Fee was around 1%.

Of course they can also sell at any regular international exchange.

You think it's hard to sell $2M BTC for fiat? I think they could find a trading desk at a bank to take it for reasonable fees.

Five years ago you would have been right. Today, many corporations in neighboring countries will gladly accept a million dollars in bitcoin as payment.
