The entire oncoming lane is packed, 6-7 lanes. At some point they were walking. This is the fastest, as well as on bicycles, scooters. Therefore, I was at the border at regarding 5 in the morning,” he says. – From 5 to 8 we were looking for a car, where to sit to cross the border, it was impossible to walk. The service is 35-40 thousand, the closer to the checkpoint, the more expensive.
According to Kirill, the border guards were not interested in details regarding his work in an IT company, much less regarding his category of fitness for military service. “They just put the foreigner in the tape that gives out information regarding me, and they immediately said that you were waiting aside,” he says. “They didn’t touch me, but they asked someone why you served, and now you are leaving.”
