Quote from Reznikov: "In the context of long-term support, the task of training Ukrainian soldiers has been raised to a qualitatively higher level.

The range of our needs is wide: from acquiring individual skills to training as part of battalions, as well as training brigade headquarters.

An effective training program initiated by Great Britain and supported by Canada, the Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, Finland and New Zealand is already in place. 

At Ramstein-5, I asked [our partners] to consider the possibility of deploying similar training programs in other neighbouring countries. This will ensure the scaling of the training process, and we will get more trained troops in a short period of time."

Reznikov reported he had been "very pleasantly surprised by Slovenia, which offered very strong support." According to the minister, it will be a real reinforcement "on the battlefield just when it is needed."
