The property of the vehicles and the cargo are left in danger and unattended. The Association appealed to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Denys Shmyhal and the Head of the Transcarpathian Regional State Administration Viktor Mykyta to resolve this issue.
"On 24.04.2024, at the Nyzhni Vorota traffic police post in Zakarpattia region, the RCCC employees illegally detained drivers of several trucks engaged in the transit transportation of goods from Europe to Ukraine, forcibly took them to the premises of the relevant RCCC department, where they were quickly mobilized and sent to military units for military service. The property of the vehicle and the cargo were left in danger and unattended," the Association said.

The Transcarpathian JCCC and JV, commenting on the statement on the detention and mobilization of international transportation drivers, stated that it is not always possible to check all military registration data on the spot at checkpoints.
