Oh, the swimming season for those who want to illegally leave Ukraine, it goes on,

it never ends. And so this kind of

night cruise on air mattresses

was just spotted by Ukrainian border guards.

And they decided to stop these semi- divers,

or rather, they could have become divers. Luckily, right then

a State Border Guard Service boat is going to rescue them, let us say, rescue them,

moor them closer to the border of Ukraine. In total, there are three men,

they wanted to swim across the Dniester and get to Moldova.

Right in Vinnytsia region,

the border guards stopped this attempt at illegal crossing. In general, you know,

as an irony I want to say,

it sometimes seems to me that they do not plan routes for drones so much as,

I do not know, draft dodgers,

who do not want to join the army,

plan their own routes for crossing the border. Because, so that you understand,

they prepared

inflatable mattresses.- Where are the flippers?- Flippers.

- They did not need flippers.- He went to paddle with his paws.- They paddled with

their paws, and their paws did not help them, because, you see,

the State Border Guard Service stands guard at the state border.

And look, they bypassed checkpoints, the border area.

So, I mean, professional training,

this kind of training is exactly what is needed in the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

- Look, in the Armed Forces of Ukraine,

in the State Border Guard Service there is an awesome, super cool unmanned systems

unit called Phoenix.

And I think they have a tiny little drone operator there,

he is such a tough little guy, 6 foot 11 tall, and I do not know, heavier than me.

So, if he were watching, he would think:" That is a drop,

that is just one drop, well,

just a drop."- No, that is not a drop right now, yes.- And their hands are itching,

and these drone- operator border guards say:"

Why is that Mavic flying without a drop?" Here is the target already,

look, three hits. One drop there and done, why use some boat?

We need to pull people out? One drone, one drop.

- So, Serhii Misiura is really joking a lot right now.- No,

I mean my hands are itching to do it.

- Your hands are itching, but actually…- Not mine, the drone operators’.- I get it,

or rather I do not understand what drives these people.- You do not get dark humor.

- Ha- ha- ha- ha, okay, let us skip this topic.

I just mean that people are so afraid of the army,

they for some reason think right away that it is doom,

that they are basically going to their death through… Well yes, you said it right,

three degrees, how much was it there?- Zero point two.- Zero point two degrees,

so it is an icy river, it is just, well, obviously,

that a truly fatal incident can happen,

and dozens of those have already been recorded, if not hundreds.

There are so many positions now in the Defense Forces of Ukraine,

even from a barista…— You need fins, you do not need a mattress.— To… Well, choose.

As Madiar said yesterday,

yesterday he also wrote such a nice post on FB that the

number of enemy drone operators there will increase to about 100 thousand,

and he backed it up with a link:

“ Choose a pilot position for yourself to be super effective.” So choose,

there is no point in taking risks like that. You are taking a risk,

here you are really risking your life.
