Answering the journalist’s questions, Demchenko noted that such minimal liability of violators before the law for the unlawful crossing of the border is a soft punishment, and it does not restrain people from not taking such steps.
If you compare the attempts of illegal crossing the border by February 24, 2022 and now, it is several times more and more, said the spokesman of the SPSU.
The officer stated that since the beginning of this year, the border guards have detained more than 13 thousand citizens for violations of border issues, including attempts to cross the border. Criminal liability is provided only by the organizers of illegal crossing of persons across the border.
Direct Language: “There are persons we delay both three and four times. And there are record holders, whom we delay more than ten times because they try to cross the border illegally. And unfortunately, people are ready to pay funds that are at times higher than the penalties provided for violators.”
