Currently, military personnel of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, side by side with military personnel of the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine, are destroying the Russian occupiers directly on the front line,” he said.
Oleksandr Syrskyi thanked all the personnel of the State Border Service of Ukraine for their loyalty to the oath, courage, courage, self-sacrifice in the fight for the Independence of Ukraine!
