Over 300 Groups Smuggled Men Across the Border: What the State Border Guard Service Reported
Published
The State Border Guard Service of Ukraine reported that since the beginning of the year, almost 300 groups illegally smuggling men across the border have been uncovered in the country. Such groups organized crossings for people trying to leave the country despite restrictions that apply to men of conscription age.
According to the agency, the organizers of these schemes often offered their services for a high fee. They found clients, arranged routes, and provided transport to border areas. Some members of the groups were detained while preparing the crossing or directly near the border.
Border guards emphasize that illegal transportation of people is a crime, and criminal liability is provided for it. The service continues to cooperate with law enforcement agencies to identify such groups and stop their activities.
For citizens, it is important to remember that departure abroad for men should take place only in cases defined by law and through official border crossing points. Dangerous attempts to cross the border can lead to serious consequences for people's lives and health.
