Denmark to Train Ukrainian Soldiers on Its Soil, Pledges More Arms to Kiev
Denmark has been among the most active supporters of Ukraine in its recent conflict with Russia, having trained Ukrainian soldiers abroad and contributed arms to the tune of $270 million. Denmark and Ukraine have entered into an agreement that Ukrainian soldiers will be trained on Danish soil.
💬 “I can't get into the details of that, but there will be training of the Ukrainian military in Denmark”, Danish Defense Minister Morten Bødskov told TV2 during his visit to the Ukrainian capital, Kiev.
Earlier in August, it was reported that Denmark would contribute130 instructors to the UK-led project this autumn to train Ukrainian soldiers with limited or no military experience. At that time Defense Minister Morten Bødskov also opened up for additional training in Denmark, including Ukrainian commanders. Previously, Denmark had trained Ukrainian soldiers in Ukraine. It happened after Russia's re-unification with Crimea it viewed as “annexation”.
