For this, he crossed the Ukrainian border.

Belarusian border guard violated the border to join the Ukrainian army in the war against Russia. Andriy Demchenko, the official representative of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, told Ukrayinska Pravda about this.

According to Demchenko, recently a border detachment of one of the divisions of the Volyn border detachment detained a man without documents. He illegally crossed the border of Ukraine, making his way from Belarus.

“The detainee said that he was a Belarusian border guard and served in the Brest border group. He noted that he dared to violate it in order to join the Ukrainian army in the war against the Russian aggressor,” Demchenko said.

The Belarusian also said that he went to Ukraine together with a like-minded person, “but on the way to the border they detected us, and pursued us with shooting,” so only he managed to cross the state border.

Demchenko noted that the information is now being verified, after which a decision will be made on his future fate.

Important to note, on July 12, it became known that a Belarusian border guard was detained in Ukraine over illegal bordet crossing. The court punished him with a two-day arrest.
