According to the Agerpres agency, on December 24, six Ukrainian citizens illegally crossed the border in the Maramures region and got lost due to a snowstorm.
“A sixth citizen of Ukraine has been found dead,” local official Dan Banga said.
A lieutenant colonel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine said earlier that Ukrainian servicemen often leave military units without permission.
On December 19, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Valery Zaluzhny asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to sign a law toughening punishment for military deserters.
