“Some lost their lives while trying to cross a mountain river or cross the mountains,” Andrii Demcenko said, according to a Ukrinform news report on Monday evening.
“In total, since the large-scale invasion began, about 30 people have died trying to cross the border illegally,” the official said.
With some exceptions, Ukrainian men between the ages of 18 and 60 are not allowed to leave the country because they could be drafted to fight under Ukraine’s martial law.
On Monday, the State Border Guard Service stated in a post on social networks that 24 men died while trying to cross the Tisa River on the border of Ukraine with Romania.
Demcenko also said that since the beginning of the war, the border guards have discovered about 450 criminal groups that tried to cross the border illegally.
“Attempts to cross the border illegally happen every day,” says Demcenko. “Most of these attempts take place outside the border control points with Moldova and Romania. The largest number with false documents is registered at the border with Poland”, said the official.
