Two men in camouflage detained near Moldova border in Odesa region

Attempt to outsmart technology proved futile

Law enforcement authorities in Odesa region documented an attempt to illegally cross the state border. Two local residents of conscription age intended to cross the Transnistrian section of the Ukrainian-Moldovan border, having planned the corresponding route in advance.

To remain undetected, the offenders prepared in advance: they put on special "kikimora" type camouflage suits designed to blend into the natural environment. However, such concealment did not yield the desired result.

Technical means detected the offenders

Personnel of the Podillia detachment of the State Border Guard Service, using thermal imaging equipment, noticed the movement of two individuals. Thanks to this, the men were detected and detained.

Administrative liability

Following the detention, administrative protocols were drawn up against both individuals for violating the rules of crossing the state border. The materials have already been submitted to the court, which will make a final decision on the measure of punishment.

The situation demonstrates that even carefully planned actions using special clothing do not guarantee success when attempting to bypass existing border control mechanisms.
