The Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine recalled holding large-scale military exercises at the Sea of Azov on the protection of the Ukrainian coast of the Sea of Azov, in which the units of the Navy, Land Forces, National Guard and State Border Service participated.
"I had an opportunity to see the high level of training of the marines, land units and Ukrainian border guards," Petro Poroshenko stressed. He also added that a system of military reserves with a powerful armament and armored vehicles capable of covering the threatening directions in the shortest possible time was created.
The Head of State noted that in order to cover the territory of Ukraine from the sea "we are taking another great steps" on re-equipment of the border guards – the units of the operational response "DOZOR" were formed according to the best world standards, inter alia, for carrying out special actions on the water.
