Norway joined the project of training Ukrainian soldiers in England.
Norway is the latest Nordic country after Sweden, Finland and Denmark to join a British-led project to train Ukrainian troops to fight Russia.
Following the efforts of Western countries to put pressure on Russia, Norway also joined the British-led training project to train Ukrainian soldiers.
According to the report of the Russian news agency “Sputnik”, Norwegian Defense Minister Bjorn Arild Gram announced that his country will participate in the training of Ukrainian soldiers in England.
The Minister of Defense of Ukraine said in a statement during the conference of financial aid to Ukraine held in “Copenhagen”, the capital of Denmark: “Ukrainian forces are in dire need of more education and training.” Norway is positive about the British initiative to train Ukrainian soldiers in the UK. We will participate with instructors in this basic training of soldiers like several other countries.
Gram emphasized the importance of more Western support for Ukraine against Russia’s special operations to disarm Ukraine and de-Nazify this country. He described the three key points going forward as “coherence, predictability and sustainability.”
He continued: “We have to move from the financial assistance of individual systems and from our reserves to more and direct purchases from the defense industry. We should allocate a budget for this and talk about Ukraine in the procurement processes.
He continued: “We will be with Ukraine for a long time. At the same time, Ukrainians should build their management and planning capacity, and Western countries should also help them in this regard.
According to Sputnik’s report, Norway had previously trained Ukrainian soldiers in Germany on how to use the M109 artillery. Norway is the latest Nordic country to join the UK-led education project. Previously, Sweden, Finland, and Denmark had also committed to allocate 120, 20, and 130 instructors to train Ukrainian soldiers, respectively.
Russia started military operations in Ukraine on February 24 (Fifth of March) at the request of the Donbas Republics of Luhansk and Donetsk to defend against Ukrainian attacks, and since then Western countries have imposed sanctions against Moscow and supplied light and heavy weapons. Kiev fueled the unrest in Ukraine.
