The border guards detained two Russian Federal Security Service officers at the administrative border with the occupied Crimea in the Kherson region on Friday, June 30.

The State Border Service of Ukraine chairman, Viktor Nazarenko wrote about it on Facebook.

«Around 2.30 the Kherson squad border guards jointly with the Ukrainian Armed Forces detained two unidentified persons without documents and found a boat which they had landed on the shore in the Kherson region on the bank of the Perekopsky Bay. During the preliminary survey it was established that the detainees were the Border Guard Service officers of the Russian Federal Security Service», Nazarenko wrote.

According to Nazarenko, the detainees say that they allegedly performed the role of educational border violators during the maneuvers, but lost their way and orientation thus found themselves on the mainland of Ukraine.

Administrative procedural acts defined by law are carried out in relation to detained Russian citizens.
