These were citizens of Morocco, born in 1988 and 1989, they had documents and a residence permit in Ukraine. During the analysis it became clear that the foreigners were first year student of one of the Ukrainian universities. However, the men were unable to provide a reasoned answer, what were they doing near the border on the EU so far away from the University. Subsequently, the travelers had admitted that their goal was to go to neighboring Poland and then to Europe.
