More extensive training of Ukrainian soldiers should be carried out, Minister of Defense Andris Spruds (P) announced on Twitter, who attended the concluded meeting of defense ministers of the Council of Foreign Affairs of the European Union in Brussels on Tuesday.
The most important issues on the agenda of the meeting were the provision of support to Ukraine and the development of the military industry.
The European Union provides substantial military support to Ukraine. At the same time, clear political commitment, arms supplies and financing are crucial in the long term. At the same time, more extensive training of Ukrainian soldiers should be carried out. Europe must not delay the development of the military industry, moreover, the ammunition production capacity must be urgently increased.
Together with the Secretary General of NATO, we discussed how to improve effective cooperation between NATO and the EU and the protection of critical infrastructure.
It has already been reported that on March 27, an agreement was signed on Latvia’s accession to the planned procurement of the European Defense Agency for the joint purchase of ammunition by EU member states, as well as Norway, for Ukraine, in order to provide Ukraine with urgently needed artillery ammunition.
