The Law amends the procedure for transferring State Border Guard Service of Ukraine servicemembers to the reserve after discharge from military service. Structurally, the law contains two main changes: 1) a technical replacement of the reference to the law on intelligence agencies with the current law “On Intelligence”; 2) a new version of Article 18 regarding the transfer of border guards to the reserve.
The key provision of the law is that State Border Guard Service servicemembers are transferred to the reserve of the Armed Forces of Ukraine upon discharge. The only exception is servicemembers of the intelligence unit of the State Border Guard Service – they are transferred to the reserve of the border service intelligence agency.
