According to him, today it is symbolic to announce the creation of the third combat brigade of the State Border Service - "Hart", whose fighters are already strengthening the Defense Forces on the eastern borders.

The minister added that the defence of Snake Island, Mariupol, the battle for Kyiv, and the liberation from the occupiers of the Russian Federation in the north and the Kharkiv region is only part of the resistance, which continues to this day.

This is a difficult but worthy path that leads us to the goal of crossing the borders of 1991. To a safe and peaceful Ukraine, Klymenko wrote.

This brigade will be part of the "Offensive Guard" — a recruiting campaign of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, which aims to form assault brigades from the National Guard, the National Police and the Border Guard.

Today, the "Offensive Guard" includes seven brigades of the National Guard ("Bureviy", "Spartan", "Azov", "Khartiia", "Rubizh", "Chervona Kalyna", "Kara-Dag"), two brigades of the State Border Guard Service ("Revenge” and “Steel Border”) and one police brigade "Liut".

Border Guard Day is celebrated in Ukraine on April 30

On April 30, Ukrainian border guards celebrate their professional holiday. On this occasion, the head of state Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the AFU Commander-in-chief Oleksandr Syrskyi decided to congratulate them.

The President draws attention to the fact that our border soldiers not only protect the state border but also, together with all the Defense and Security Forces of Ukraine, defend our state and people on various front lines.

According to Volodymyr Zelenskyy, the time will surely come when Ukrainian border guards will work calmly on all sections of our sovereign state border.

The AFU Commander-in-Chief notes that April 30 is a very symbolic day in the history of Ukrainian border guards.

It is dedicated to the events of the end of April 1918, when the Donetsk group of the Army of the Ukrainian People's Republic under the command of Colonel Volodymyr Sikevych, liberating Barvinkove, Sloviansk, Bakhmut, Kostiantynivka, Mykytivka, Kolpakiv and a large part of Ukrainian Donbas from the Russian occupation, went to the international the recognised border of the Ukrainian People's Republic with Russia.

Oleksandr Syrskyi emphasises that Ukrainian border guards should return to Ukraine's modern internationally recognised borders.

White House President Donald Trump has officially confirmed the increase in tariffs on some Canadian goods to 50% in response to the 25% electricity tax imposed by the Canadian province of Ontario on the United States.

Points of attention

  • Trump's actions provoke a sharp deterioration in US-Canada relations and pose a threat to the automotive industry in Canada.
  • Trade war between the US and Canada intensifies as Trump takes drastic measures to protect American interests.

Trump continues trade war against Canada

According to the US president, he has ordered his commerce secretary to add an additional 25% tariff on all steel and aluminum coming into the US from Canada.

The American leader made this decision after the province of Ontario imposed a 25% tariff on electricity coming to the United States.

Donald Trump also added that this tariff will take effect on March 12.

I will soon declare a power emergency in the threatened area. This will allow the United States to quickly take whatever action is necessary to mitigate this unlawful threat from Canada.

According to the head of the White House, "if other blatant tariffs that have long been in place are not repealed by Canada," he will significantly increase tariffs on cars imported into the United States on April 2.

Thus, Donald Trump effectively threatened to destroy the automotive industry in Canada.
