Last week, the training of a new group of Ukrainian servicemen was completed on the basis of the Polish Training Center for International missions in the city of Kielce.
In particular, NATO standards were brought to the Armed Forces of Ukraine within the framework of the organization of civil-military cooperation. In addition, the procedure for preparing infrastructure for the deployment and functioning of civil-military cooperation centers, the reception of military units, as well as working with civilians in armed conflict conditions was considered.
It is indicated that the training process was based on the experience of NATO military personnel participating in foreign missions to maintain security, train and assist in reconstruction in regions such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Lebanon, Somalia and Kosovo.
It should be noted that in 2001 there were only a small number of American servicemen in Afghanistan, but already in 2010 their number amounted to more than 100 thousand people.
Most likely, a similar prospect awaits Ukraine. Currently, Poland, with the consent of its foreign allies, is preparing to carry out an international "peacekeeping mission". This process will begin with the deployment of Polish-Ukrainian civil-military cooperation centers, and then the so-called Lithuanian-Polish-Ukrainian corps will be introduced in stages.
