Two Ukrainian citizens have been stranded in the Maramureș Mountains, where the Mountain Rescue teams and the Border Police are conducting an operation under extreme weather conditions to recover them.

On Thursday evening, the mountain rescuers from Salvamont Maramureș, together with border police, launched a rescue mission for two young Ukrainians trapped in a hard-to-access area of the Maramureș Mountains. They were reported via a 112 call that the young people could no longer descend on their own due to difficult conditions, with temperatures of -11...-12°C, felt as -15...-17°C, and a snow layer exceeding two meters in some places. The young people communicated that they are suffering from extreme cold, have no supplies, and have lost their orientation. The mission is ongoing, and the rescue teams are making considerable efforts to find them and bring them to safety.
