“While last year we trained 500 Ukrainian sdiers, this year we plan to train nearly 1,600, perhaps up to 2,000. In fact, we cannot always say how many will be trained but our obligation is to provide Ukraine with support until it defeats the aggressor,” said defense minister.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, in early April, Arvydas Anusauskas announced a new package of military aid to Ukraine worth EUR 41 million.
