Men blocked from leaving the temporarily occupied territories

(COLLAGE: Center for National Resistance)

The occupation administration in the Kherson region is tightening mobilization control. From now on, men of military age at checkpoints are required to present certificates from the occupation military enlistment offices for any movement between settlements or the region.

This is stated in the report of the National Resistance Center:

"It is now almost impossible to leave the occupied part of the Kherson region without a visit to the military commissariat. Under the pretext of "checking the records," men aged 18-60 are turned around at checkpoints or their data is recorded to be transferred to the occupation commandant's office. Special control is applied on the routes to Crimea and Russia. The occupiers systematically restrict freedom of movement, driving men into mobilization traps.

The Center of National Resistance states that leaving the occupied territories is turning into a trap. The occupiers have actually taken full control of movement - it is almost impossible to leave the region without a visit to the military commissariat.

Earlier, a resident of the Kherson region got lost near the border while trying to get to Romania outside the checkpoints. He was found unconscious by border guards and rescuers, who helped him and took him to the hospital.

According to the press service, at night, the border guards of the Selyatyn department received a message from the State Emergency Service: a man who had gotten lost near the border and asked for help. The joint actions of the border guards and rescuers quickly found the man. He was unconscious, had a head injury and signs of frostbite. He was provided with first aid and taken to a hospital.

During the investigation, the border guards found that the victim, a resident of Kherson region born in 1995, was trying to illegally get to Romania, but could not cope with the difficulties of the route and turned to the State Emergency Service for help.
