“The border is the main element of state’s sovereignty. In order to restore order, one must close the border and withdraw foreign troops from the territory of Ukraine. We will sort out our problems ourselves,” Petro Poroshenko emphasized. According to the President, Ukraine doesn’t have any internal conflict. It is strong as never before and is able to defend itself.
The President has noted the professionalism of the border guards and their substantial contribution to the protection of integrity and independence of Ukraine. Over 11,000 border guards took part in the battles with the aggressor in the East. 63 heroes – border guards died in these battles. The attendees have honored their memory with a moment of silence.
The President has assured that he would do everything for the Ukrainian border guards to receive modern equipment.

The Head of State has also presented state awards, spoke to the militaries and their families and handed keys from the apartments in the newly built house.

Ukrainian peacekeepers play an important role
in the protection of Ukraine from aggression
On the eve of the International Day of Peacekeepers celebrated on May 29, President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko presented state awards to the AFU servicemen, militaries of other units and law enforcement bodies that took part in the international peacekeeping missions and the ATO in the East.
The Head of State has noted a high professionalism of Blue Helmets that make incredible efforts for the establishment of peace in conflict areas, reunification of warring parties, monitoring over the fulfillment of the achieved peaceful arrangements; take part in demining of territories, disarmament of illegal armed groups and reintegration into peaceful life.
“Contribution of peacekeepers to the establishment of peace will never be forgotten by Ukraine and nations of the countries, where thousands of lives have been saved,” the President said.
The Head of State noted that the activity of Ukrainian peacekeepers had always been praised by the UN officials and people they had been defending. “I saw for myself how qualitatively our servicemen fulfilled their tasks. In conditions when representatives of other countries were forced to fall back, our peacekeepers fulfilled the tasks to the end,” Petro Poroshenko said.
The President emphasized that peacekeepers played an extremely important role in the defense of Ukraine from aggression. In the first days of aggression, with a small number of combat-ready forces, they managed to deter numerically superior enemy, as stated by Petro Poroshenko.
“15 months ago nobody could imagine that the tasks Ukraine was fulfilling in conflict areas would become increasingly topical for our country as well. Your experience, skills and morale are essential for Ukraine,” he said.

95-year old Evdokhia helps the Ukrainian soldiers at the front by making food for them. Her husband lost both legs in WW2, and she understands what the horrors of war are like. She says she does not want the soldiers to be hungry. Evdokhia became involved through her great-granddaughter, Natalia, who also volunteers with the "Our Battalion" volunteer group.
There's a short video in Ukrainian here about her
