The driver and passenger assured that they were servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and were returning to their permanent deployment in the Lviv region. However, they did not provide official identification, which was the basis for the inspection.
Military exclamation “I wish you health!” and a camouflage pea coat should convince the border guards that the man heading for the border is an active military soldier and not a criminal. This was reported by the press service of the State Border Guard Service on Wednesday, October 16.
The resident of Kiev, aiming to get to Slovakia, received appropriate instructions from the smuggler.
The men’s plan was exposed in Transcarpathia by military personnel from the “Velyky Berezny” department along with operatives from the Chop detachment.
Law enforcement officers stopped a car in which two men in military uniform were heading to Slovakia. The driver and passenger assured that they were servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and were returning to their permanent deployment in the Lviv region. However, they did not provide official identification, which was the basis for the inspection.
Later, the car driver only delivers the resident of Kiev to the point where the latter must cross the Ukrainian-Slovak border. The men previously agreed to a cash reward of $10,000 for the move.
“In order not to arouse the suspicion of law enforcement officers, the ferryman dressed in military clothing and gave the passenger a camouflage jacket According to the instructions of the driver, the resident of Kiev, if the car was stopped by a guard in border, should. to greet them with the words “I hope you are in good health!” and look them in the eyes, pretending to be a military man .,” explained the State Tax Service.
At the same time, if this does not convince the law enforcement officers, the transporter must tell them that he is transporting to his military unit a serviceman who left it without permission and is hiding in Transcarpathia.
The detainees were taken to the border unit. A resident of Kiev will have to answer in court for attempting to cross the border illegally. While the driver’s actions are seen as signs of a criminal offense, responsibility for which is provided for Article 332 of the Criminal Code “Illegal transportation of people across the state border of Ukraine.”
We would like to remind you that the servicemen of the Onokovtsy branch of the Chop detachment detained a man half a kilometer from the state border who was trying to illegally cross the Ukrainian-Slovak border.
In the past, the draft dodger staged a “masquerade” to illegally enter Moldova. The assailant was wearing a latex mask, robe and wetsuit.
Border guards also reportedly detained draft dodgers who, wearing “kikimora” pants, tried to trample the route to Romania.
