Kyiv • UNN
A 22-year-old Ukrainian man from Kryvyi Rih was detained by border guards while trying to illegally cross from Ukraine to Romania through the Carpathians. He hid his passport in a food container so that he could pretend to be a lost tourist in case of detention.
In Zakarpattia, a man who wanted to illegally get to Romania hid his passport in a box of food and pretended to be a lost tourist. However, his plan was discovered by border guards. An administrative report was drawn up against him. The offender was reported by the press service of the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine-Western Border, UNN reports.
Having watched video tutorials on mountain tourism on the Internet, the young man made his own route from Ukraine to Romania through the Carpathian highlands and set off on his journey. The Ukrainian had his internal passport with him, and in order to conceal the real purpose of his arrival in Zakarpattia when he met with border guards, he decided to hide his Ukrainian passport for traveling abroad in a box of food.
