In Kharkiv region border guards found lumbermen who violated the legislation on the state border, animal life, and quarantine restrictions.

The District Inspector of the Border Guard Service of the Vilhuvatka Division (Velykoburlytsk district) learned of suspicious activity in the forest belt near the border village of Bereznyky. The detail found seven people cutting down trees in the forest. The timber was loaded in four GAZ vehicles. Lumbermen were operating illegally, as deforestation has to be coordinated with the state border guard authority and it wasn’t done so.

Only later the forest farm brought the documents that were allegedly legal. However, the Law of Ukraine "On wildlife" prohibits during the period of mass breeding of wild animals, from April 1 to June 15, to carry out works that are a source of increased noise and disturbance, including sanitary felling of the forest. And quarantine restrictions prohibit visiting forest parks.

Due to violation of the border regime, the staff of the State Border Guard Service issued administrative protocols on lumbermen. To make a legal decision, the border guards sent to the National Police a report on the detected signs of other violations: provided for by Art. 246 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine "Illegal felling of the forest" Art. 44-3 CUAO “Violation of the rules on quarantine of people”.
