In the Transcarpathian region, border protection was strengthened at the Mukachevo Border Detachment. This was reported by the State Border Service of Ukraine on Saturday, March 22.
"On the area of responsibility of the Mukachevo border detachment, additional forces were attracted to protect the state border. This became part of the measures aimed at intensifying the fight against illegal activities," - the message reads.
Increased border outfits will serve in the most vulnerable areas of the Ukrainian-Romanian and Ukrainian-Hungarian border. During patrolling, border guards will use modern automobile and special equipment, unmanned and manned aviation, as well as other special tools.
