• national guards and commanders of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

The visit of the Minister of Internal Affairs to Chernihiv region underscores the importance of ensuring security in the border areas, which are constantly under attack from the enemy. In the context of escalating situations, the active work of security forces and local self-government bodies is critically important for the protection of the population and infrastructure of the region. The discussion of evacuation issues and the strengthening of security forces indicates a real risk for residents of border communities and the need for prompt actions in response to threats.
