Oleksandr Turchynov: We should strengthen the defense of the eastern border of our country to protect civilization from the Russian aggression

We should strengthen the defense of the eastern border of our country to protect civilization from the Russian aggression. This was stated by Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksandr Turchynov in his comment to journalists before the start of the Sixth National Prayer Breakfast in Kyiv.

"Regrettably, this issue is still not resolved, - Mr. Turchynov said. - This issue has not just ripened but overripened, it should be solved as soon as possible".

"We will have an open entry to Europe, and we should strengthen the defense of the eastern border to protect civilization from the aggression of the Russian Federation, from the penetration of hybrid provocative technologies of the Russian Federation to the West. It was Ukraine who crossed Russia's path, perhaps, it is our historic mission", - Secretary of the NSDC of Ukraine stated.

He noted that if this decision will be taken by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, the Government should work out the ways to implement it.
