Man Attempts to Escape to Moldova Using a Paramotor

The border guards apprehended a man who was trying to escape to Moldova with a paramotor.

This was reported by the State Border Guard Service on their Telegram channel.

According to the service, a 48-year-old resident of Khmelnytskyi decided to cross the border using a paramotor he purchased online for 500 euros. He chose a field near the border for takeoff and planned to fly without any documents or navigation – ‘by sight’.

The border guards from the Mohyliv-Podilskyi unit stopped him before he could take off.

“The offender has been detained and is facing administrative charges,” the State Border Guard Service concluded.
