During the papers checking of an Azerbaijani citizen (born in 1983), who was walking to Ukraine, border guards of the Kharkiv border guard detachment found that he had already been excluded from entering Ukraine.

Border guards refused to take the bribe, the bribery attempt was documented and the fact was reported to the National Police. The citizen of Azerbaijan was denied to enter Ukraine and was returned to Russia.
