Five men disguised as Red Cross volunteers tried to escape to Romania

In the Zakarpattia region, border guards discovered five Ukrainians attempting to flee to Romania using counterfeit documents from the “Red Cross” charitable organization.

This was reported by the Western Regional Administration of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

Residents of the Donetsk and Kyiv regions utilized fake documents and special clothing, purportedly indicating their affiliation with an international humanitarian organization.

They were traveling by car towards the border when they were exposed by border guards.

“As the basis for crossing the border during the period of martial law, the men provided volunteer certificates and claimed to be following humanitarian aid. During document verification, border guards discovered that the provided certificates were fake,” the statement said.

Additionally, a video surfaced online showing a man successfully crossing the Tisa River in 2 minutes.

Many men attempt to swim across it to reach Romania, but not everyone succeeds due to strong currents.
