To ensure reliable protection of the state border, border guards systematically introduce the use of modern weapons and equipment.

One of the most effective ways to detect offenses at the border is to use light aircraft.

In particular, last night, servicemen of the Onokivtsi department of the Chop Detachment used a UAV to detect the movement of an unknown person toward the border.

The Border Patrol and a response team were immediately dispatched to search for the alleged offender in the area indicated by the drone operator. Law enforcement officers detained the person 900 meters from the state border. The man was carrying a passport of a citizen of Ukraine. He admitted his intention to illegally cross the Ukrainian-Slovak border.

The man was detained administratively to clarify the circumstances of the offense. He will be brought to justice for his illegal actions. His case will be considered in court.
