In Bukovyna, a border patrol discovered a foreign-registered Range Rover SUV moving towards the Ukrainian-Romanian border.

As a result, the serviceman received severe multiple bodily injuries.
As noted, the victim was hospitalized and underwent surgery; there is currently no threat to his life.
Later, border guards, together with National Police officers, as indicated, found the vehicle – it was abandoned on the outskirts of one of the settlements.
