On a river between Ukraine and the EU, border guards search for draft evaders

Ukrainian border guards pose with their dog on a pebble beach on the Tisza River bordering Romania, in Velykyi Bychkiv, Ukraine, on July 10.

Dozens have drowned trying to cross the river to EU-member Romania. Border guards are trying to stop them, as the Ukrainian military pushes mass conscription to address troop shortages.
