UKRAINE ATO area, Mar 27, 2017 - In the course of a visit to the mobile control point of the Chief of the National Guard of Ukraine, President Petro Poroshenko verified the functioning of operational communications with the territorial command of the National Guard and the command of the National Guard in the ATO area. Also, the President was provided the latest information on the elimination of consequences of fire at the military depots near Balakliia.

 

“A high level of trust and gratitude of the Ukrainian people are not the only assessment of your work. Our National Guard is the most frequently mentioned brand on Russian TV. It seems to be the most popular brand. It is totally absurd and unfair to use you to scare children as Russian propaganda organs do. But if you are so feared and hated by adult Russian men, this means that you serve the people of Ukraine honestly, qualitatively and selflessly,” the President emphasized.

 

“Development of the National Guard is in keeping with the structure of similar bodies of the NATO and EU member-states. That is why the main efforts on combat and special preparation are focused on studying and implementing the procedures of training used in those countries,” Poroshenko concluded.
