Today, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyi congratulated border guards on the 17th anniversary of the establishment of the intelligence agency of the Administration of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine.

The Head of State noted that border intelligence like other intelligence units should be constantly developed and improved. According to him, in order to cope with the new challenges, it is necessary to promptly improve the quality and reliability of intelligence information, improve cooperation with other intelligence units and restore active measures of influence to uphold Ukrainian interests abroad.

"The benchmark should be the standards of the special services of NATO member states. This is the key to your successful work in all major areas. In particular, the participation of intelligence in achieving peace in Donbas," Volodymyr Zelenskyi stressed.
