Ukrainian border guards brought old people to tears when crossing the border with Crimea
Ukrainian border guards conduct interrogations on the border with Crimea and bring pensioners to tears at checkpoints.
Former political prisoner Spartak Golovachev, who had to spend more than two years in a Kharkov prison, writes about this on his blog, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
Golovanov cited as an example the story of his friend, who recently visited the peninsula.
“The parents of a friend called from Crimea, who came to visit a sick relative. Elderly people are in despair about the humiliation they had to endure from the Ukrainian border guards after an hour and a half of queuing in the baking sun. I had to answer many offensive questions:
– Why are you even going there?
– Who are you going to, who do you know in Crimea?
– How long are you going? Have you traveled before? Why didn't you go before? Etc.
The woman, already on neutral territory, burst into tears.
- Why do you treat me like this? “I’m not a criminal, I’m an ordinary pensioner who worked at a factory all my life,” Golovachev reports her words.
At the same time, the Russian border guards on the other side of the checkpoint, according to him, were extremely polite.
“I burst into tears even more when the smiling Crimean border guard warmly said: Welcome to Crimea! After an unexpectedly short time, the old people were already in Crimea. Being in a completely different, calm and apolitical atmosphere, the old people shudder to think that one of these days they need to return to a “free, European” country.”
