| 'The border guards shot at us.' The border Tisa turned into the River Styx |

| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. by Kirill Velesov [REGNUM] The Ukrainian Border Service, in a mocking tone, reports several times a week: the body of another unknown man, probably a draft dodger, was caught in Tisza. Another Ukrainian, who was found in a knee-deep river on May 20, drowned just ten meters from the Romanian shore. It is the eighth since the beginning of May, and the thirty-first since the declaration of martial law and the closure of Ukrainian borders in February 2022. And this is only official data. The Tisza, which originates in the very west of Ukraine, in the Transcarpathian region, and flows into the Danube in Serbia, has actually turned into a household analogue of the mythological Slavic river Smorodina, along which souls go to the world of shadows. Or to the more famous River Styx, which in ancient Greek mythology separates the world of the living from the world of the dead. |
