The Czech Senate has extended the mandate for military training of Ukrainian soldiers until the end of 2024, Radio Prague reports.
Defense Minister Jana Černochová said that ensuring training conditions for the Ukrainian military is a priority. The head of the ministry is convinced that this activity of the Czech side brings the end of the war and the long-awaited peace closer.
Support for this proposal allows not only Ukrainian soldiers, but also military personnel from EU and NATO countries to stay in the Czech Republic.
"According to the established rules, the number of foreign military personnel on the territory of the Czech Republic will not exceed 800 people, as it was this year. The document stipulates that Czech military personnel will be able to undergo training under the guidance of instructors from NATO member states," the publication notes.
