The EU handed over helmets and body armour worth almost 1 million euros to the border guards

They were provided by the EU-funded project “EU Support in Strengthening Integrated Border Management in Ukraine (EU4IBM)” project.

"The provision of personal protective equipment to the employees of the Border Service is one of our main priorities, because for the EU, a human and his/her safety are our core value," said the Head of the Good Governance and Democratisation section at the EU Delegation to Ukraine.
