The Border Guards Day is celebrated in Ukraine on April 30.

Combating illegal military formations, terrorist threats, drug trafficking, trafficking in human beings, counteracting illegal migration processes, smuggling and even spreading a dangerous virus are the daily tasks of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

The State Border Guard Service personnel in border controlled areas are the basis of lawfulness. Border guards detect and prevent not only border violations but also other crimes. Almost every day, state border guards detain poachers, offenders involved into illegal logging, or simply harming the environment.

Despite the festive events and quarantine, nearly 2,000 border guard details are serving at the perimeter of our State. The operational units, servicemen, patrolling the border and the water surface with the help of technical means, do not cease their work.

In effective cooperation with the Ukrainian army, the border guards deter the aggressor at the demarcation line.

Every document checked, every step along the perimeter of the Motherland, every professional activity of a border guard at the service - daily, hourly, every minute - are elements of a single mechanism that creates an insurmountable barrier for all the violations and almost imperceptible border for those who cross it with good intentions.
