Poland plans to train a military unit composed of Ukrainian men residing in Poland who are subject to conscription into the Ukrainian army.
Polish Foreign Minister Radoslaw Sikorski said this at a two-day summit of NATO's foreign ministers in Prague on Friday, May 31, Ukrinform reports, citing Wnp.pl.
"Poland considered the Ukrainian request regarding training, but we came to the conclusion that it would be safer and more efficient to train a Ukrainian unit composed of Ukrainians in Poland who are subject to conscription into the Ukrainian army, and that it would simply be a more effective way to help Ukraine," Sikorski said.
He also noted that negotiations with Ukraine on a bilateral security agreement were "going well." He also expressed hope that it would be signed before the NATO summit in Washington in July.
