In the Transcarpathian region, border guards assisted a man who almost died trying to illegally cross the border with Romania through snow-covered mountain areas. This was reported by the press service of the State Border Service of Ukraine..
A 24-year-old resident of the Kirovograd region tried to cross the border, but because of a strong cold and exhaustion, he could not continue the path. Border guards, together with rescuers, found him after more than 7 hours of searching, just 10 meters from the border.
The man was dressed in warm clothes, drunk with hot tea and transferred to medical specialists. He is currently in intensive care, suffering from hypothermia and dehydration.
In addition, on January 15, two teenagers were detained in Bukovina who participated in the organization of illegal crossings for the border for the deviations. The State Border Service noted that the criminals began to attract minors to participate in the scheme of illegal transfer of men across the border.
