Poland plans to train a military unit of Ukrainian men of military age living in Poland, according to the Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski after an informal meeting of NATO foreign ministers in Prague.
“Poland considered Ukraine's request for training, but we came to the conclusion that it would be safer and more effective to train a Ukrainian unit from Ukrainians in Poland who are subject to conscription into the Ukrainian army, and that this would be a more effective way to help Ukraine,” he said.
Poland does not rule out the possibility of sending its troops to Ukraine
Earlier, Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said that the government should not rule out sending troops to Ukraine.
In addition, the German newspaper Der Spiegel reported that the Baltic states and Poland do not rule out sending their troops to Ukraine if Russia succeeds on the battlefield.
