/tass/. More than 100 Dutch instructors are currently taking part in the training of Ukrainian servicemen. This was announced on Monday by the head of the Dutch Defense Ministry, Kaisa Ollongren, after talks with NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
According to her, the Netherlands has already sent more than 100 instructors. "And I myself have heard from those who have been trained that it really helps to save lives," the minister said.
In addition, Ollongren drew attention to the importance of bringing the perpetrators to justice. In this context, she recalled that a group of Dutch experts on the investigation of war crimes is working in Ukraine.
On February 24, Russian President Vladimir Putin announced a special military operation in Ukraine in response to a request from the leaders of the Donbass republics for help. After that, the West imposed large-scale sanctions against Russia and increased the supply of weapons and military equipment to Kiev for amounts estimated at this stage in billions of dollars.
