A game about illegal border crossing across the Tisza has appeared in the AppStore: the DPSU has already reacted (video)
A mobile game has appeared on the AppStore platform, where players can virtually try to swim across the Tisza River, which is one of the ways to illegally cross the border of Ukraine. The State Border Service of Ukraine reacted to the appearance of the game, reminding that “playing games is normal, but swimming across the Tisza is not.”
About this reported DPSU
In the game, you have to overcome the strong current of the river by quickly pressing the button. Although it seems simple, it is quite difficult to win.
Crossing the Tisza is one of the methods used by those trying to evade military service. Since the beginning of the full-scale war, numerous attempts to illegally cross the border have been recorded, some of them ended tragically. In particular, 34 people died in Tisza, trying to cross the Ukrainian-Romanian border.
The DPSU regularly detains individuals who try to leave the country illegally in various ways, including crossing rivers, using forged documents, and other methods.
Since the beginning of the full-scale war and the ban on the departure of men of draft age from Ukraine, an illegal industry has blossomed, offering a variety of ways to cross the border. Among them are the use of forged documents, the passage through forests and mountains, as well as the dangerous path of crossing the Tisza River.
Recently, border guards detained two groups of men who tried to leave the country illegally: some tried to cross the Tisza River to Hungary, others planned to reach Moldova by minibus.
