In Transcarpathia, the border with Hungary was lined with barbed wire
The State Border Service of Ukraine reported the establishment of a barrier fence within the Transcarpathian and Chernivtsi regions to counter smugglers, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
As noted in the press center of the State Border Guard Service, in order to reduce the activity of tobacco smuggling, a decision was made to install engineering barriers along the border line.
“The border guards of the Mukachevo detachment installed 7000 meters of a spiral barrier fence. In addition, border guards are setting up other obstacles, including “spotty-catchers” and subtle obstacles, and are clearing the border strip,” the department noted.
“To stabilize the situation in the region, border guards sent additional reserves of the department to the most vulnerable areas - units of the DOZOR mobile detachment, border commandant’s offices and dog handlers with dogs, who sealed the state border as much as possible,” the State Border Guard Service reported.
