December, 24, in the village of Mikhailivka, Vinnitsa oblast, the Head of the State Border Guard Service Serhii Deineko has opened a renewed border guard unit.
The new section for border guard inspectors “Mykhailivka” of Yampil border guard department will protect more than two dozen kilometers of the Ukrainian-Moldovan border.
The event was held with the participation of the representatives of the local authorities and residents of the territorial community.
“For more than 27 years this unit has been protecting the state border on the Dniester River. Formed in 1992, it has passed its official way from the outpost “Mykhailivka” to a modern unit of European standard. At present, all necessary conditions and infrastructure have been created here, with a complete supply of modern equipment and facilities,” said Serhii Deineko.
The opening of the renovated unit is a landmark event for the border guard officers who serve there, because, as they themselves point out, modern facilities and updated technical support will multiply the efficiency of the performance of their duties.
“The total cost of the project was 750 thousand UAH. In the course of its implementation, a full range of construction and finishing work was carried out; everything necessary for its autonomous and uninterrupted functioning was done.
Ensuring proper conditions of service and a decent social package for border guard officers are our priorities. Therefore, this renewed unit will be a great New Year’s present for the personnel“, – said the Head of the Border Guard Service of Ukraine Serhii Deineko.
The construction of a 2-storey administrative building began last year, with subventions supported by Vinnytsia OSA and Yampil RSA. In addition, most of the construction work was carried out by Mohyliv-Podilsk detachment itself.
It should be noted that during only this year the personnel of “Yampil” department detained 18 violators of the state border; 10 attempts of illegal movement of goods have been stopped and about 100 violators of border legislation have been prosecuted.
During the event, the Head of the border department awarded the best border guard officers of Mohyliv-Podilsk detachment named after the Hero of Ukraine senior lieutenant Viacheslav Semenov.
Also on this day, a minute of silence was observed in memory of the perished border guards and all the defenders of Ukraine. The Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine together with representatives of local authorities put flowers to the Memorial to the fallen border guard heroes, installed on the territory of the military town of Mohyliv-Podilskyi border detachment.
“In total, almost 20,000 border guard officers have already participated in the counter-terrorist operation and the United Nations force operation. Unfortunately, not everyone has returned home alive. 70 of our comrades gave their lives for Ukraine. For courage and heroism 932 of them were awarded with state awards, and the feat of three officers was marked with the Star of Hero of Ukraine” – Serhii Deineko said.
