Seven days in Carpathians: three Ukrainians got lost while trying to illegally cross border with Romania - SBGS. VIDEO&PHOTOS
On 12 January, in Zakarpattia, border guards of the Dilove department together with rescuers from the Rakhiv Mountain Search and Rescue Department rescued three men who had been wandering in the Carpathians for a week in an attempt to cross the border with Romania.
This was reported by the State Border Guard Service, Censor.NET reports.
As noted, the search was carried out using a quadcopter, which helped to identify the frozen and disoriented offenders. All three showed signs of severe hypothermia, and one of them was hospitalised with superficial frostbite of the foot and a body temperature of 33.8°C.
The men - two from Kyiv and one from Donetsk region - set off for the mountains on 5 January to illegally cross the Ukrainian-Romanian border. Despite their preparations, they were forced to seek help due to severe weather conditions.
Administrative reports were drawn up against the offenders under Article 204-1 of the Code of Administrative Offences for illegal crossing or attempting to illegally cross the state border of Ukraine, and their actions will soon be assessed by the court.
