According to the draft dodger, he previously lived in Tajikistan, where he had two wives and three children from them.
Border guards exposed a Ukrainian at the Uzhgorod checkpoint who was trying to travel abroad with fake documents. During the control, along with a passport of a citizen of Ukraine, the draft dodger provided three birth certificates of children who allegedly are citizens of Tajikistan. The press service of the Western Regional Directorate of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine writes about this.
It is known that the man tried to travel to Slovakia by bus. During the interview, he said that he was Tajik by nationality, and before coming to Ukraine he lived in Tajikistan. He noted that there he has two wives, with whom he is in a civil marriage and from whom he has three children. Already in 2022, according to him, he arrived in Kyiv and, after marrying a Ukrainian woman, received Ukrainian citizenship.
“However, while checking the traveler’s documents, the border patrol found signs of forgery in the children’s birth certificates. In particular, the inspectors found that the original data in all three documents was etched with a chemical substance, and new text was applied on top,” the message noted.
After this, the National Police were called to the scene. The investigative team seized fake documents in order to carry out investigative actions.
Exposing border evaders: latest news
As wrote, two draft dodgers who wanted to illegally cross the Ukrainian-Slovak border across the Latoritsa River were rescued in the Transcarpathian region. It is noted that the men were sitting on a tree in the middle of the river and could not get out of there.
“The men crossed part of the river, but were very cold, so they no longer had the strength to get to the shore. Rescuers arrived to help, who, using vests and stretchers, saved the men and handed them over to emergency medical workers,” the State Emergency Service in the Transcarpathian region reported.
Also earlier, on the border with Hungary, border guards caught the largest group of evaders during the war who were planning to illegally leave Ukraine. The organizers of such a “scheme” wanted to take out 38 men liable for military service at once.
