The head of the SBGS Serhii Deineko received certificates for the vehicles from German Ambassador to Ukraine Martin Jäeger
According to Jäege, Germany has a close partnership with Ukraine, supports it in all areas, provides a wide range of military assistance, from air defense to mine clearance, and maintains close relations with the State Border Guard Service.
"I am convinced that you will gain good experience with these vehicles and they will help you win and be successful," the ambassador emphasized.
