A man was caught trying to leave Ukraine via the Dniester River — on an air mattress.
Ukrainian border agents found him paddling with his arms in an attempt to reach Moldova.
AdvertisementUkraine's border service said on Wednesday that it caught a man attempting to cross into Moldova by "swimming" on an inflatable mattress in the Dniester River.
The border service did not say if the man on the mattress was trying to dodge the draft.
This isn't the first time the Ukrainian border service has caught someone in an air mattress-related incident.
