Two Wives, One Border Crossing Attempt: Border Guards Expose Ukrainian Man's Scheme.
A Man Tried to Leave Ukraine with Both His Wives
According to Novyny.live: A 43-year-old resident of Donetsk Oblast was caught by border guards while attempting to travel abroad accompanied by two women—one his legal spouse, the other a common-law partner. The authorities have referred the case to the police as a potential criminal offense. This incident involves a violation of Article 332 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which prohibits the illegal transportation of individuals across the state border.
Since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine, a total of 68,500 people have been detained for trying to cross the border illegally. This particular case highlights the critical role border guards play in enforcing the law at crossing points. Exposing such violations is a necessary step to maintain order and security at the national frontier.
