As noted, the violators turned out to be two brothers from Kharkiv, aged 32 and 34. To avoid meeting law enforcement, they traveled to the border area bypassing checkpoints. They then planned to swim across the Dniester to reach the neighboring country.
They approached the implementation of their plan thoroughly: they packed personal belongings in waterproof bags and brought underwater scooters to cross the river quickly
It is reported that the men failed to realize their plan. Border guards promptly detected and detained them directly during their "swim." The violators have been held administratively liable.
