Four illegal migrants including some Srilankans were arrested near the checkpoint of Smilnytsya in western Ukraine, Ukraine Today reported.
Three men and one woman with a baby stemming from Somalia and Sri-Lanka were heading to Poland on foot. Just a few metres from the border the migrants were noticed by a guard.
