The drills were attended by units of the Southern Regional Directorate, the Regional Directorate of Maritime Security of the State Border Guard Service and the Naval Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The joint practical training provided for the actions of the reserves of the departments in the event of an armed aggression by possible adversary on the territory of Ukraine. The main tactical actions unfolded on Zmiiniy Island, where special forces of the Southern Regional Directorate, who were delivered by border aviation and the fleet, also advanced for reinforcement. To give an armed rebuff to the enemy, at the same time both ship tactical groups and servicemen of a separate battalion of the Ukrainian Navy marines landed on the island.
In addition to issues of coherence and interaction between the divisions of both departments, the servicemen also worked out practical exercises with live fire. The head of the Odesa Regional State Administration Maksym Kutsyi was invited to the exercises, together with the head of the Southern Regional Directorate, Colonel Serhiy Ill and the Commander of the Ukrainian Navy, Rear Admiral Oleksiy Neizhpapa, arrived on the island and checked the progress of the training.
“At the end of the practical activities, the leadership of the exercises highly appreciated the coherence of the units of the State Boarder Guard Service and the Naval Forces of Ukraine on actions in a crisis situation,” the department noted.
