Moldova to help Ukraine fight illegal migration of military service age men

Chișinău, Moldova, (Svidomi) — Moldovan Interior Minister Adrian Efros in an interview with Ziarul de Gardă, announces that Moldova will help Ukraine fight illegal migration of men of military service age who illegally try to leave the country to avoid conscription.

"Obviously, everyone is trying to save their lives, and mostly men between the ages of 18 and 60 illegally cross the state border. The Transnistrian region is largely used, and we conduct one or two operations almost every week to combat and destroy various schemes organised on the territory of Moldova either independently by citizens of the country or jointly with citizens of Ukraine," the minister says.

He also said that he had met with Ukraine's interior minister to resume joint patrols in the Transnistrian region, on the Ukrainian side.

"In this way, we will prevent and deter this illegal migration," Efros added.
