Ukrainian border guards reportedly crossed into Moldova twice while pursuing people trying to evade Ukrainian conscription. Both incidents occurred along the Dniester River within a one-week period. One took place in Moldova's Soroca district, where the pursuit led to the use of force. Local residents intervened, and the person being pursued was hospitalized. Moldova's prosecutors subsequently opened two criminal cases concerning the alleged illegal border crossing. Experts consulted for the account examined where Ukrainian personnel's authority ended when operating near Moldova's border. The episode leaves open questions about how cross-border pursuits are authorized and handled.
