The tension doesn’t get decreased in the AR of Crimea. Russian special services continue  blocking the border guard units and managemen

The tension doesn’t get decreased in the AR of Crimea. Russian special services continue  blocking the border guard units and management facilities. At the same time Russian radical armed groups aimed to destabilize the situation and prevent conflict settlement, still continue entering the country. 

Currently, there is no service voice communications with the Azov–Black Sea Regional Directorate and the Simferopol border guard detachment. It is explained by the Russian servicemen attacks. As a result they damaged and captured all the communications. On top of that, soldiers captured the outer-space communication station at the airport "Simferopol".

Russian military troops yet again have taken by force the administrative building of the Regional Directorate and keep trying to perform the physical and moral coercion upon the heads of all border guard units aiming to shatter morale of the Ukrainian border guards. Moreover, invaders do not allow the SBGS personnel to get to their places of work. Instead of this they force the border guards to recognize the new authorities of the Crimea and reveal a desire to continue service in the "new" Autonomy.

Nevertheless, the border guards demonstrate courage and don’t fall for the aggressors. The servicemen of the Sevastopol marine detachment did stand against the attackers and after long-lasting negotiations entered the detachment.

During all the day long nearly 30 persons have blocked up the building of the border guard department "Kerch". About 35 soldiers of Russia broke into the ferry "Crimea" and, threatening to use weapons, blocked the work of Ukrainian border guards.  There were 15 servicemen, including 7 women, who made up the part of the border guard shift. A while ago, after negotiations, the checkpoint resumed its work. Currently, the BCP is under pressure of the armed attackers.

All the mentioned facts testify that the State Border Guard Service personnel is continuously under the moral coercion. However the border guards do not fling over their places of work, do not cease hostility and still remain faithful to the Oath and Ukrainian people.
