Five days in the mountains: border guards rescued a tired resident of Dnipro

A resident of Dnipro was found in the mountains, having been wandering through a snowy forest for 5 days and losing the strength to move further. Border guards and rescuers from the State Emergency Service arrived.

The man himself asked for help by calling a special police line. He reported that he was extremely exhausted and physically unable to continue moving.

After that, a search operation was launched, which lasted about 12 hours. In the morning, border guards together with the State Emergency Service units found him: he was lying in the snow in a mountain forest.

The response team helped the man descend from the mountains, after which he was taken to the border unit. There, he was provided with food, warmth, and the necessary assistance to regain strength.

Later, it became known that the Dnipro resident intended to cross the state border into Romania illegally. In this regard, an administrative protocol was drawn up against him.

Border guards emphasize the danger of attempts to transform the border outside official checkpoints, which poses a serious threat to life and health, especially in mountainous conditions and brutal weather.
