Tried to escape from Ukraine: border guards detained male offenders

This was reported by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine on its Facebook page.

The border guards of the Mogilev-Podolsky detachment, in cooperation with the police and representatives of the TU DBR in Khmelnitsky, detained the carrier and four of his "clients".

"In particular, on the banks of the Dniester, the servicemen detained a citizen of Moldova, who swam across the river in a two-seater rubber boat. The boatman landed on the shore, and when he saw the border guards, he tried to hide. They managed to stop him with the help of a service dog and warning shots," the report says.

The detainee admitted that he was in a difficult situation and he was offered to transport a passenger, Stepa, from Ukraine to Moldova for $200.

“In fact, four passengers were waiting on the shore of the carrier, who intended to go abroad. The “passengers” said that it was not they who negotiated the voyage and the price, but representatives of their “community” in Moldova,” the message says.
