Two motor cars, Ford and Opel, were stopped by a joint duty of Horodnya mobile border post and SSU officers on Horodnya-Chernihiv highway, 12 km from the Ukrainian-Russian border. The law-enforcement officers had information on possible delivery of illegal migrants by those vehicles. In the cars driven by Kyiv residents, the officers really found seven nationals of Somalia and two Afghan citizens. Besides, the duty was told that some more illegal migrants were waiting for the transport, and four more Afghans were found in a wood near Polissya village, Horodnya district. The detained foreigners had no documents but said that their group had been formed in Moscow and brought across the Ukrainian-Russian border by guides. Currently, the investigation section of the SSU department in Chernihiv oblast considers the question about initiating a criminal case against the detained drivers for illegal transfer of persons via Ukraine’s state border. It should be noted that Ukrainian border guards have detained 33 Somalia nationals and 9 Afghans attempting to trespass the border during three months of the current year.
