The fifth group of Lithuanian soldiers has left for an international training mission in the United Kingdom to contribute to the combat training of Ukrainian troops, the Armed Forces said on Friday.
During the five-month mission, the instructors will provide Ukrainian troops with the basic military knowledge and skills required for combat operations.
“I know and firmly believe that you will do your best to pass on your professionalism and knowledge to the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” said Lieutenant Colonel Marius Kugauda, commander of the Training Regiment, as he saw off the Lithuanian soldiers.
Lithuanian troops have been partaking in the UK-led multinational operation to train the Ukrainian army since November 2022.
Lithuanian instructors are also participating in the EU training mission, EUMAM Ukraine, and training Ukrainian troops in Lithuania, focusing on the training of junior commanders and specialists.
