Head of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine (SBGSU) Petro Tsyhykal says that the SBGSU intends to increase the number of border posts, bringing the distance between them in line with the European standards, while focusing on the borders with Russia, Belarus and Transnistria, according to the online newspaper ZN.UA
"We plan to strengthen our units between the border guard departments, which are located directly on the border line, creating the corresponding border posts at a distance of at least 15-20 kilometers, according to the European standards," Tsyhykal said on Ukrainian television as reported by ZN.UA.
