President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Ukraine will fully restore control over a section of the border in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions. According to him, the state border is the first line on which the state should be as effective as possible.

This was reported by the press service of the Presidency.

“Volodymyr Zelenskyy also expressed his belief that Ukraine will regain full control over a section of the border in the Donetsk and Lugansk regions,” the message said.

The head of state stressed that this is a necessary security condition for the deployment of the next positive political process in these regions.

“It is our border guards who will be the ones who will testify that the vacating of certain areas of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions has completely taken place,” the president said, urging the State Border Service “to prepare for this day.”

Zelensky pointed out that there is still much to be done so that Ukraine’s borders are modernized, equipped with all the technical and information tools to defend themselves from the enemy.

“There should not be a single weak point on the border. For us, this is not just an economic and anti-smuggling issue. This is a strategic issue for Ukraine’s national security. The continuing hybrid confrontation creates special threats. And we are almost the only ones in Europe who really know how to counter these threats, “he said.

Remember that Ukraine wants to update the composition of the information of the State Land Cadastre at the state border. The Verkhovna Rada adopted the corresponding Bill No. 3987 as a basis on the first reading.

As RBC-Ukraine wrote, Zelensky previously said that the next steps on the road to peace would be the withdrawal of the pro-Russian armed formations from Donbass and the return of control over the state border.
