The Netherlands plans to train 30,000 Ukrainian military this year

NOS reported the information.

"This year, the Dutch government will send 230 more military personnel to Germany to train Ukrainians. Dutch Foreign Minister Wopke Hoekstra, Dutch Defense Minister Kajsa Ollongren, and Dutch Minister of International Trade and Development Cooperation Liesje Schreinemacher wrote to the House of Representatives that this year they will facilitate and join the training of a total of 30,000 Ukrainian soldiers," the statement said.

The first thirty Dutch soldiers are to be sent in April and May for 4 weeks. The other 200 in August and September for 6 weeks.

In addition, the Dutch military will remain involved in training Ukrainians in the UK throughout the year.

"Given the large-scale mobilization in Russia, the training of the Ukrainian military is important for Ukraine's resilience," the Dutch ministers emphasized.

• On February 15, it became known that the Netherlands would provide Ukraine with 20,000 rounds of ammunition for Leopard 2 and would not mind transferring tanks to Ukraine provided the consent of Germany.
