Ukrainian border guards have detained 8 individuals who were attempting to illegally cross the Ukrainian border, according to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

"Despite the weather and... the law: 8 men attempted to cross the border in Zakarpattia," wrote border guards in their Telegram channel.

According to the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, a local resident was transporting four of the detainees to the Ukrainian-Hungarian border, but not in a very friendly manner, and for $4,000 from each.

Two more adventurers were planning to conquer the Carpathian highlands on motorcycles, forging a path to Romania.

In the third case, border guards detained a resident of the capital who, without equipment or appropriate clothing, intended to independently reach Romania through the mountains.

"Border violators, along with the organizer, will be held accountable," border guards reported.
