The young man attempted to flee Ukraine 13 times

Border guards reported that at the 'Tysa' checkpoint, military personnel detained the boy who was trying to illegally enter Hungary from Ukraine. This was his 13th attempt.

'The border patrol, which was inspecting trucks, noticed an unknown person walking towards Hungary. He had no documents with him. Later, law enforcement officials established that the detainee is a 19-year-old resident of Lviv.'

The teenager turned out to be from Lviv and explained that he was seeking better living conditions in EU countries due to a difficult financial situation. Unable to leave legally, he first arrived in Chop and then tried to cross into Hungary.

It was recorded that this attempt was just one in a series of failed attempts, including the boy trying to 'storm' the borders with Moldova, Slovakia, and Hungary since November 2024. The 19-year-old offender was detained administratively and will be held accountable for border violations.

Recently, tour operators who organized trips to the unrecognized Transnistria for 10 thousand dollars were also detained, and the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law to increase fines for draft evaders, which applies not only to conscripts but also to reservists.

The teenager from Lviv attempted to illegally cross the border 13 times to get to Hungary to improve his financial situation. As a result, he was detained and plans to be held accountable for border violations. The government is also continuing to fight against military service evasion and illegal tourist trips to conflict territories.
