Three Airbus helicopters for border guards arrive in Ukraine from France

Three Airbus helicopters for the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service have arrived in Ukraine from France, the State Border Guard Service has said.

"Three helicopters arrived in Lviv on Wednesday. Weather permitting, their flight to the capital will take place on December 23," the statement said.

Under the Ukrainian-French contract, the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service already has seven H125 helicopters produced by France's Airbus Helicopters.

The first four helicopters arrived in Ukraine in January 2020 and November 2021.

These are new Airbus H125 helicopters that are supplied under an agreement between the governments of Ukraine and France.

In total, as part of the creation of the unified system of aviation security and civil protection in Ukraine, the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service is to receive 24 new H125 helicopters from Airbus Helicopters.
