The year 2024 has become a year of perseverance and bravery for the ‘Offensive Guard’ brigades, police officers and rescuers on the front line, said Interior Minister of Ukraine Ihor Klymenko.

"At the slightest opportunity, I try to be there where tens of thousands of employees of the Interior Ministry system are now – on the front line, the combat zone. This is not only about the ‘Offensive Guard,’ but also about the thousands of police officers and rescuers who, despite the proximity of the enemy and constant shelling, remain close to civilians and do everything for their safety," the minister said in an interview with Interfax-Ukraine.

In this context, Klymenko stressed: "For them, this is a year of perseverance and bravery. These are not pretentious words, they are overcoming something that is difficult to imagine being in the rear regions."
