According to the Border Police, the two were in a motorboat and had crossed from Ukraine into the Republic of Moldova. A response patrol was dispatched to the scene and took them into custody; they were subsequently escorted to the headquarters of the Cosăuți Border Police Sector for legal proceedings to be carried out.
The case was referred to the Public Prosecutor’s Office, which ordered the initiation of criminal proceedings for the illegal crossing of the state border, an offence under Article 362 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Moldova.
The Border Police state that, with regard to the two individuals, the procedures provided for by the legislation in force were applied, in accordance with the competences of the relevant authorities.
The information was made public after MP Vasile Costiuc shared video footage showing two Ukrainian soldiers arriving by boat on the banks of the Dniester, on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
“I received these images on WhatsApp; we are awaiting a response from the authorities in the Republic of Moldova,” said the MP.
The authorities issued an official response only today, 17 October, urging citizens to “obtain information from official sources”.
