Border guards apprehended a Russian national attempting to cross from Ukraine to Slovakia. He was in the country illegally.

This was reported by RBK-Ukraine citing the State Border Guard Service.

The Russian citizen, who had been staying illegally in Ukraine for several months, decided to enter the EU and cross the border into Slovakia—also illegally.

"For courage, the man drank a bottle of vodka, after which he got lost in a border village," the report states.

During his escapades, as noted by the State Border Guard Service, he encountered local Romani people, got "beaten up," and was left without his belongings.

"After sobering up, the Russian headed randomly towards the border, but was detained by border guards just 50 meters away," the service confirmed.

Materials regarding the administrative offense were prepared against the man. The issue of forcibly deporting the Russian from Ukraine will be addressed further.

As reported, a citizen of Ukraine was detained in Latvia. He attempted to illegally cross the border on a bicycle to reach the Russian Federation.

Additionally, a German citizen was detained in Poland on suspicion of mediation and illegal export of dual-use goods to Russia. This involved specialized machinery that could have been used at Russian military factories for weapon production, which violates international sanctions.
