In the Cherkasy region, near the village of Klishchentsi, two poachers were caught, who fished for 3,141,000 hryvnias.
Violations were discovered by eco-inspectors and the company for the maintenance of water bodies during patrolling of the Sulynsky Reserve, reports State Environmental Inspection on Telegram.
The press service said that the patrol noticed how two men were pulling two sledges with freshly caught fish along the creek.
It is noted that the bags contained:

Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in Cherkasy the court found the poacher guilty in the commission of a criminal offense and forced him to compensate 575.4 thousand hryvnias, as well as to pay a fine of 17 thousand hryvnias. In May 2022, the man, together with another violator, caught more than 1.3 million hryvnias during the spawning ban.
