Thirteen illegal immigrants from Sri Lanka, India and Bangladesh had been detained by the Ukrainian border guards of the Lviv and Lutsk detachments, the Ukrinform News agency reported on Thursday.

The Ukrainian State Border Guard Service has said guards have spotted six foreigners who did not have any documents with them and watched two people cross the Western Bug River along the border line.

“Border guards immediately informed their Polish counterparts. As a result of joint and coordinated actions by the Ukrainian side, Polish border guards detained two more people. They were citizens of Russia and Azerbaijan,” a statement issued by the Border Guard Service said.

It said that all details of preparations for the violation of the state border were established during verification measures.

In particular, it was established that a Russian and a Azerbaijani intended to send five Sri Lankans and an Indian to the European Union in search of a "better life."

At present, Polish foreign colleagues are expected to send the foreigners to Ukraine. The foreigners detained by Ukrainian border guards, after their identification, are to be held accountable for the attempt to break the border.

    It would be much better if Sri Lanka builds an economy that allows everyone a good life.

    The Ukrainians and the Polish like all other East Europeans are poor cousins to the West Europeans.So thousands of them have come to Britain in the last 20 years to work mainly as labourers and farm workers. No one likes them in Britain and they are constantly harassed by the white British youths.They have no respect in Britain. But back in their own countries they are all racists and hate the non-whites.I feel sorry for those caught by the boarder guards even though they were entering those countries illegally.They would have suffered horribly at the hands of the racist boarder guards.

    They deserve it. If they made it to the EU they would just make up some torture story to get asylum

    Normal Eastern Europeans are actually not racists. Problem is with the law enforcement. There are racists everywhere regardless of the continent and Western Europe is no different.
