About 1,200 Ukrainian military servicemen have been instructed in Germany in handling various combat systems, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius said upon his arrival for a meeting of NATO defense ministers on Tuesday.
In his opinion, the training of Ukrainian military personnel “is of central importance.”
“In Germany alone, 1,200 soldiers from Ukraine have already received special training in handling combat systems, such as [multiple launch rocket systems] Mars, [anti-missile defense systems] Patriot, Marder infantry fighting vehicles or Leopard tanks,” Pistorius said. “Weapon without training will not help anyone.”
