Nowadays the State Border Service fulfills all the assigned tasks in full. Lieutenant General of the State Border Service Viktor Myshakovskyi announced on Sunday, May 25, at the House of Government.

“The situation on the state border of Ukraine still remains difficult but under control,” Viktor Myshakovskyi declared.

According to him, the State Border Service ensures completely protection of the state frontier, functioning of border subdivisions and border control in the checkpoints.

He stressed the most difficult situation is on the territory of Luhansk and Donetsk regions which are under the permanent threat of seizure of frontier guards, blocking of subdivisions and attempts to reduce and hamper fulfillment of duties by the State Border Service.  

The analysis of clearance operations proves that presently, the amount of our citizens arriving to Ukraine has grown: in western regions up to 15%, eastern – up to 25%, in Crimea – by 1.5fold.

Viktor Myshakovskyi stressed in the last 24 hours single attempts to cross the state border and illegally transport cargoes in the southern section of the frontier had been prevented, as also certain attempts of violation of the state border in Vinnytsya and Volyn areas existed.

Moreover, he informed that the borderguards vote in normal mode. Over 60% borderguards have voted in western areas and Kherson region. The voting process is complicated in Donetsk and Luhansk regions, but where polling stations are operating the voting process is on.
