Everyone won - this is the main result of the interagency competition of small tactical groups in applied all-around, which ended today.

“Each of you proved during the competition that a real special forces officer is strength, endurance and self-confidence,” the Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine addressed the participants of the tournament during the award ceremony. Serhii Deineko stressed that such competitions educate individuals, develop the desire of servicemen to be better and teach them to win.

Vasyl Polіakov Memorial Tournament was held on October 5 at the Personnel Training Centre of the State Border Guard Service near Cherkasy. This year the competition reached the interagency level for the first time. The border guards hold an annual commemoration of their sworn brother. Vasyl Poliakov, a fighter of the 10th Mobile Border Guard Detachment, selflessly served the Motherland and died heroically near Dovzhanskyi in July 2014. APC-80 under the command of Senior Sergeant Polіakov arrived to help a unit of the Armed Forces. An enemy bullet caught up with Vasily when he tried to evacuate his wounded brother.

Summing up the results of this year's tournament, the participants of the ceremony bowed their heads in mourning for those who gave their lives for Ukraine.

“At all times, the protection of the native land has been and remains an honourable duty of every Ukrainian, and today it is also the duty to preserve freedom, dignity and national identity, as the war for independence and territorial integrity of Ukraine continues,” Serhii Deineko said. The head of the border guard agency expressed gratitude to Vasyl Polіakov’s father and assured that the memory of the heroic deed of the fallen hero-border guard will live in our hearts forever.

For five days at the Vasyl Polyakov Tournament, male and female fighters of 18 teams from mobile border guard units, DOZOR, KORD, and Bulat special units overcame obstacles, solved tactical, intellectual tasks, demonstrated the ability to practice weapons. Both teams and their captains competed. The winner of the team championship was the team of the Department of State Protection. The second and third places were taken by the representatives of DOZOR units from Odessa and Kyiv, respectively.

Due to the specifics of their activities, the winners of the individual championship are known only in person, because the participants of the competition are non-public people. Their work must remain "behind the scenes", and when this is unavoidable, these fighters usually work in masks. We can only say that the highest awards in the individual competition were collected by the DOZOR unit from Kyiv. One of the fighters of this team won the individual championship among all participants of the competition, and the team leader won among the captains.

But at the end the competition, all teams and participants won. Representatives of various departments with similar specifics honed their skills and studied the experience of colleagues. Regardless of the awards from the competition, they return more professional, coordinated and motivated.
