The training center is located on one of the Polish Army's training grounds. It is an element of NATO's support for Ukraine and creates a basis for further cooperation in building defense capabilities. The center is already home to 250 Norwegian instructors. It is expected that they will soon be joined by military personnel from Estonia and other NATO countries.

Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Yevhen Moysiuk emphasized that this training center will provide training for the Defense Forces and enhance the exchange of combat experience between the Armed Forces and NATO, in particular on the use and counteraction to drones.

  • In late September, Russian foreign intelligence said that Ukraine and Poland were allegedly preparing a provocation to throw in the last of the saboteurs in order to blame Russia and Belarus. With this "report," the Russians actually announced their own plans, said Kovalenko, head of the Center for Political Analysis.
  • On October 2, Tusk said that a new provocation with Russian vessels took place in Poland – this time near the port of Szczecin in the Baltic Sea.
