Dangerous for life: border guards warned fugitives about bears on the border with Romania

Many bears have appeared on the border with Romania, which can be dangerous for those wishing to illegally leave Ukraine through the highlands of the Carpathians. Such "tourists" often leave food in the forest, which has led to the increased number of wild animals.

This was announced on May 19 by the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The agency's press service also published photos of bear tracks and things left in the mountains by "tourists."

"Beware of bears! Many bears have appeared on mountain routes near the Ukrainian-Romanian border. Yesterday, a border patrol noticed traces of a clubfoot on the remnants of snow and things scattered on the ground," the statement said.

According to the border guards, most mountain routes are closed, but there are those who want to overcome them.

Such "tourists" go to the highlands, usually having planned their further stay abroad, so they take a lot of things with them. And when it becomes too much to carry, they are simply abandoned in the woods, the State Border Guard Service said.

In particular, food is often left in the forest, which causes the appearance of wild animals to become more frequent.

"Warning! Refrain from visiting closed mountain routes along the border, it can be dangerous for your life," the State Border Guard Service warned.
