Zelenskyy visits Kherson Oblast, meets with border guards
President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Kherson Oblast on Oct. 20 to meet with Border Guard Service personnel stationed there, according to the President’s press service on Oct. 20.
“Zelenskyy held a meeting to discuss the current situation and the conditions of service for Ukrainian border guards in the frontline regions,” the press service reported.
“Serhiy Deineko, the head of Ukraine’s State Border Guard Service, presented an overview of the work of the border guards, their achievements, and issues requiring attention”
Zelenskyy also extended his congratulations to the border guards, particularly intelligence personnel, on their professional holiday.
“You have been doing a great job, performing a great service — a powerful service. For 20 years, almost 10 years of which have been a war against the occupier. Thank you for serving Ukraine and Ukrainians,” he said.
During the gathering, a minute of silence was observed to honor all the soldiers of Ukraine’s defense and security forces who lost their lives in the war against Russia.
Prior to this visit, Zelenskyy had visited Kyiv Oblast and reviewed housing construction in Tarasivka for individuals affected by the Russian invasion.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
