Two illegal migrants were apprehended by the border guards of Kharkiv Detachment at Ukrainian-Russian border. Border guards learned about possible cross of the border of Ukraine from SSU workers. Detention of the trespassers took place at direction between Ukrainian village Pletenivka and Russian one Schebekino with the help of the service dog. The violators were citizens of Tanzania of 43 and 27 years old. They arrived to our country in different years by student visa being invited by two Ukrainian universities. According to the words of detainees, they intended to get to Russia aiming to find good job as they had been working at Kharkiv market as handlers. Detained citizens were delivered to Border Service Department “Vovchansk” in order to undergo filtration measures. Protocols were drawn as to trespassers in accordance with Administrative Law Code (illegal cross or attempt to cross the state border of Ukraine). At the present moment citizens are kept in Border Service Department “Kozacha Lopan”.
