The '''State Border Guard Service of Ukraine''' ({{abbr.}} '''SBGSU'''; {{langx|uk|Державна Прикордонна Служба України|Derzhavna Prykordonna Sluzhba Ukrainy}}, {{IPA|uk|derˈʒɑu̯nɐ prɪkorˈdɔnːɐ ˈsluʒbɐ ʊkrɐˈjinɪ|pron}}; {{small|abbr.}} {{langx|uk|ДПСУ|DPSU|label=none}}) is the [[border guard]] of [[Ukraine]]. It is an independent [[law enforcement agency]], organized by the [[Constitution of Ukraine]] as a military formation, the head of which is subordinated to the [[President of Ukraine]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Main tasks of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine |url=http://dpsu.gov.ua/en/main-tasks-of-the-state-border-guard-service-of-ukraine/ |access-date=2022-08-05 |website=dpsu.gov.ua |language=en}}</ref>

The Service was created on July 31, 2003, after the reorganization of the State Committee for Protection of the State Border. During [[war]]time, units of the State Border Guard Service fall under the command of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]]. The State Border Guard Service includes the [[Ukrainian Sea Guard]], which is the country's [[coast guard]]. It is also responsible for running Temporary Detention Centres, in which [[refugee]]s are held.

==History==

Ukrainian border guards are the national successors of the [[USSR Border Troops|Soviet Border Troops]]. They were formed from the approximately 17,000 Border Troops located in Ukraine in 1991. The organization was first titled the "Ukrainian Border Troops", which was later subordinated to the "Ukraine's State Committee for State Border Guarding".

From 1991 to at least 1993, the new borders with [[Russia]] and [[Belarus]] were not guarded; the Border Troops were only deployed along the western borders (minus [[Moldova]]) and on the [[Black Sea]].<ref>Leonid Polyakov, 'Paramilitary Structures in Ukraine,' Almanac on Security Sector Governance in Ukraine 2010, 143-144, [[Geneva Centre for the Democratic Control of Armed Forces]].</ref> Another 9,000 personnel were added to the Border Troops at the expense of the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]], and, by the end of 1993, border posts were established in the north along the Russian and Belarusian borders. In 1999, the authorized strength of the force was again increased to 50,000.

In 2003, new legislation was adopted, and this somewhat changed the legal status of the institution. In March 2003, the Border Troops became the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, and its status was legally changed from 'military formation' to 'special law-enforcement body.' The force was legally granted 50,000 personnel, including 8,000 civilian employees.

On 4 July 2012, a State Border Guard Service [[Diamond DA42]] aircraft failed to make its scheduled radio contact with ground units. A [[Search and rescue]] mission revealed that the plane had crashed into a wooded mountainous area in [[Velykyi Bereznyi Raion]], killing all 3 crew members on board. A further investigation was launched.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ua-reporter.com/news/fotografii-s-mesta-katastrofy-samoleta-diamond-da-42-v-zakarpate|title=Фотографии с места катастрофы самолета Diamond DA-42 в Закарпатье|date=July 5, 2012|website=Reporter UA}}</ref>

During The [[War in Donbas (2014–2022)|War in Donbas]] on August 31, 2014, two Sea Guard Zhuk class patrol boats were struck by land-based artillery. In June 2, a border base in the outskirts of [[Luhansk]] was besieged by a troop of [[Luhansk People's Republic]] separatists. The [[Siege of the Luhansk Border Base]] resulted in 10 wounded Border Guards until they surrendered and withdrew.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Qena |first=Nebi |date=2014-06-04 |title=6 militants killed, 3 Ukrainian troops injured in Luhansk fighting |url=https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/6-militants-killed-3-ukrainian-troops-injured-in-luhansk-fighting-1.1852230 |access-date=2022-05-01 |website=CTVNews |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=500 separatists storm border control building in Luhansk, Ukraine |url=https://www.upi.com/Top_News/World-News/2014/06/02/500-separatists-storm-border-control-building-in-Luhansk-Ukraine/4091401717113/ |access-date=2022-05-01 |website=UPI |language=en}}</ref>

In 2022, during the [[Battle of Snake Island]] 13 border troops were attacked and captured by Russian warships. A unit of border guards was stationed in [[Mariupol]] and fought during the [[Siege of Mariupol]]. In 20 April, the border guards were stranded in an encircled pocket at the Mariupol sea port together with [[National Police of Ukraine]], until they were rescued by the [[Azov Regiment]] and retreated into the [[Azovstal Iron and Steel Works]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Marines and "Azov" rescue 500 fighters from the port of Mariupol - media |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/04/20/7340941/ |access-date=2022-05-01 |website=Ukrayinska Pravda |language=en}}</ref>

On 30 April 2024, Andriy Demchenko, spokesperson of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, said in an interview that 30 Ukrainians have died trying to leave since February 2024 when conscription was introduced. Since the implementation of martial law some 450 criminal gangs have been formed specialising in people smuggling.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.euronews.com/2024/04/30/ukrainian-border-chief-says-30-people-have-died-trying-to-flee-the-country |title=Ukrainian border chief says 30 people have died trying to flee the country |publisher=Euronews |date=2024-04-30 |access-date=2024-04-30 |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Андрій Демченко, речник Державної прикордонної служби |url=https://www.ukrinform.ua/rubric-ato/3857901-andrij-demcenko-recnik-derzavnoi-prikordonnoi-sluzbi.html |access-date=2024-11-01 |website=www.ukrinform.ua |language=uk}}</ref>

In April 2024, was announced the creation of the third combat brigade in the State Border Guard Service. The brigade was named [[Hart brigade|Hart]] and Colonel Volodymyr Chervonenko became its commander.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ukraine’s Interior Minister announces creation of another brigade, formed of border guards |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/04/30/7453600/ |access-date=2024-11-02 |website=Ukrainska Pravda |language=en}}</ref>
