The spokesman for the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Andriy Demchenko, confirmed that Romanian law enforcement officers detained two Ukrainians who illegally crossed the border and may be involved in the attack on a border guard in Zakarpattia.

Two Ukrainians were detained in Romania who allegedly attacked a State Border Guard Service serviceman while trying to illegally cross the border at the Mukachevo border guard detachment in Zakarpattia. The spokesman for the State Border Guard Service, Andriy Demchenko, said this during a telethon, according to a correspondent of UNN.

As we can see, attempts to violate the state border do not stop, but sometimes the actions of the violators themselves are quite bold, as they also try to attack the border patrol. Such a situation occurred on Friday at the Mukachevo border guard detachment, when two offenders attacked a serviceman. We immediately informed the law enforcement agencies of Ukraine about this fact, as well as our colleagues on the other side of the border. Soon they reported that two offenders had been detained in this area

- Demchenko said.

He noted that the circumstances indicate that it was they who attacked the border guard.

Further actions against these individuals, as well as other circumstances of the attack, are being decided. According to Demchenko, the attackers seized a device for firing rubber bullets - it was found on one of the detainees.
