According to him, the border units of the Russian Federation have everything necessary to fulfill the tasks of protecting the state border in peacetime and in the event of an aggravation of the situation.
“Given the dynamics of the development of the situation in this direction, as well as unfriendly actions of the Ukrainian side towards the Russian Federation, we are taking adequate measures to strengthen and increase the density of protection of the state border, as well as the planned build-up of its technical equipment, “said Kulishov.
Note that from the beginning of April, the Russian Federation began to pull troops to the borders of Ukraine. According to the SBU, the Russian military was deployed in five directions. Such actions of Russia were condemned by the United States, the EU countries, as well as NATO.
Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu ordered from April 23 to begin returning troops to their permanent deployment points, which were involved in exercises in the Southern Military District. However, the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine said that the Russian Federation had withdrawn its troops in only one direction.
