1,600 Ukrainian military personnel underwent training on 88 different courses in Lithuania itself, and bomb disposal experts were trained as part of Lithuania’s initiative with the Nordic countries.

Next year, Lithuanian instructors will be involved in the training of about 3,500 Ukrainian soldiers – again within the framework of the EUMAM mission and Operation Interflex in the UK, as well as in Lithuania itself.

Background:

• A new batch of military aid from Lithuania arrived for the Armed Forces of Ukraine on 20 December 2023.
• Last week, Lithuania delivered several million cartridges and several thousand rounds of ammunition for short-range portable anti-tank grenade launchers, as well as about a thousand folding beds.
