The Netherlands Refuses to Train Ukrainian Military Personnel

The Netherlands is withdrawing from the British training program for Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers. This was announced by the Kingdom's Ministry of Defense.

Amsterdam has participated in the mission since its inception, with representatives from 14 countries participating. At various times, personnel from the Army and Marine Corps have served as instructors.

In total, more than 63,000 Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers have been trained under the program since 2022. The program itself will continue under British leadership, but its format will change.
