| Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited. [Regnum] The number of dead Ukrainians whose bodies were removed from the Tisza River on the border with Romania and Hungary has increased to 37. This was reported by the press secretary of the Mukachevo border detachment, based in the Zakarpattia region of Ukraine, Lesya Fedorova. She noted that at least 37 men have died in the Tisza since the start of the Russian special operation in Ukraine. In reality, there may be more dead, since not all bodies are found in the river. “The bodies of 17 of them were discovered only in 2024,” Fedorova clarified. As reported by the Regnum news agency, in July a barbed wire fence appeared on the Ukrainian bank of the border river Tisza. Men evading the mobilization announced in Ukraine regularly try to cross the river and leave the country. In particular, on July 6, border guards detained four evaders with gunfire who intended to swim across the Tisza on inflatable rings. In April, the Ukrainian banks of the Tisza began to be mined, and in June, the first deaths of mine dodgers were reported. According to a source familiar with the situation, the Ukrainian authorities ordered that attempts to escape be stopped by any means necessary. |
