The European Union is training 15,000 Ukrainian soldiers.
In continuation of the European military and financial aid to Ukraine, the EU foreign policy official announced that the first group of Ukrainian soldiers are currently undergoing their training courses in Poland.
“Joseph Burrell”, the foreign policy official of the European Union, published a message on his Twitter and announced that as part of the “European Union aid mission to Ukraine”, more than a thousand Ukrainian soldiers are currently undergoing training courses in Poland. .
In this regard, he added that this board will provide the necessary training to the Ukrainian military and has spent nearly 16 million dollars for training equipment.
According to Sputnik, Joseph Burrell visited the European Union training center in Poland on Friday and met and talked with the first group of Ukrainian soldiers who are being trained in this center.

On February 24 (March 5, 1400), the Russian army began its “special military operation” in eastern Ukraine; Senior Russian government officials say the operation was launched in response to a request from the heads of the autonomous republics of Donetsk and Luhansk to protect them from Ukrainian forces. According to Sputnik, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the purpose of this operation was “to support the people who were subjected to genocide and persecution by the Kiev regime for more than eight years.”
In order to counter the advance of the Russian army, the United States and the western countries have imposed many sanctions against Russia, while sending all kinds of advanced weapons to the Ukrainian army. On the other hand, “Sergei Lavrov”, the Russian Foreign Minister, has also said that any shipment and convoy carrying military weapons for Ukraine is a legitimate target for Russian forces.
