ACCIDENT – One of the two Ukrainians who went missing in the Maramureş Mountains, in north-western Romania, was found dead by a local resident. The border police and mountain rescue services had resumed searches on Tuesday only to abandon them again owing to difficult weather conditions. On Saturday, a group of six Ukrainians called the emergency number saying they were stranded at an altitude of 1,800 meters. They had been trying to cross the mountains from Ukraine into Romania. Four were rescued by the Romanian rescue services. Another is still missing. After Ukraine was invaded by Russia on 24th February, Kyiv declared a general mobilization and ordered the martial law, which bans men aged between 18 and 60 from leaving the country, with many trying to do so illegally.
