NATO is setting up a training and training centre for Ukrainian soldiers, they have recently confirmed. Even though they have not yet determined their location, Poland is offering to do so. According to sources of the Atlantic Alliance, it is not just a question of offering military training to the Ukrainian military: They want to help Ukraine "train in strategy" and "manage defence administration". In this way they intend to strengthen Ukraine in the military sphere, two years after the war against Russia.

So far, NATO members have provided Ukraine, at least officially, with military support by States or by small groups. The Spanish State, for example, trains hundreds of Ukrainian soldiers in Toledo. The final decision represents a further step in the Atlantic Alliance, guaranteeing the training centre as an international organization. And not only that. The expenses of the allies associated with ‘defence’ this year will overcome all the historic barriers, according to NATO sources this week.

75 years of NATO and the involvement of Ukraine in question

The Defence Ministers of the Atlantic Alliance met yesterday and today in Brussels. Among other things, it was a question of discussing aid to Ukraine, and it seems that the new project on the centre will be adopted in July at the Washington summit.

The international criminal organization celebrates its 75th anniversary. In addition, it is possible soon to determine who will be the new secretary-general of the alliance, who will replace Jens Stoltenberg. The Norwegian has been in office for ten years.

NATO currently consists of 31 states, and Ukraine is not one of them. The Alliance ' s senior officials have commented on several occasions that Ukraine is not prepared to be part of the organization, and Stoltenberg recently recalled that. Two main reasons have been brought to the table: That because of the war against Russia there are no conditions for Ukraine to "contribute to the security" of NATO and that the military forces and institutions of Ukraine do not meet the minimum requirements of the Atlantic Alliance. The new training centre now in place should supposedly contribute to this.

Noises of war

While NATO and the countries that are part of it are making all these moves, the statements of the authorities are being made clear. Rob Bauer, chairman of the Military Commission, talks with Russia about a "total war", marking a period of 20 years. On the other hand, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz calls for the "massive" production of weapons with the argument "The threat of Russia".
