Vasyl Servatyuk, deputy head of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine said at a meeting of a Parliament’s temporary investigative commission into a Mukacheve incident that the MP changed his mind right at the border check point: “At the Tisa checkpoint there was a routine ID check.

UNIAN memo. The shootout occurred in Mukacheve on July 11 during a conflict between the Right Sector and the people close to Mykhailo Lanyo, Ukrainian MP. According to representatives of the Right Sector organization, Lanyo, himself, had called them to hold talks, because the Right Sector started interfering with the flows of contraband.
