Tragedy in the Mountains: Two Men Frozen Near the Border.

Border Patrol Discovered the Bodies of Two Men in the Mountain Area

During monitoring of the mountain area, the border patrol of the Chernivtsi border guard unit discovered the bodies of two men with no signs of life. According to forensic medical examination, both died from hypothermia. One of the deceased was a resident of Lviv region born in 1994, and the other was a resident of Donetsk region born in 1992.

Possible Attempt to Cross the Border Illegally

According to preliminary data, the second man was likely trying to cross the border illegally. From his personal belongings, it became clear that the man likely intended to cross the state border illegally. 'During the initial examination, no signs of violent death were found,' the statement says.

During the initial examination of the bodies, no signs of violent death were found. Currently, necessary examinations are underway.

Increase in the Number of Criminal Cases

In the last three years, over 60 cases of discovering the bodies of deceased men attempting to cross the border illegally have been recorded at the western border. It was also recently noted that the number of criminal cases for evasion of mobilization has significantly increased. In 2024, 618 individuals have already faced actual punishment for evasion of mobilization.

Arrests of Criminals

Recently, a man was arrested in Kyiv who organized an illegal business for 'solving' issues related to military service and crossing the border for money. Border guards also identified the corrupt activities of the head of the garrison military medical commission in Kyiv, who 'diagnosed' servicemen as unfit for service.

The recent arrest of an offender heading to the border in an unusual guise indicates a constant fight against illegality at the border.
