Denmark modernizes AFU training center
- On Tuesday, February 24, Fedorov noted that Ukraine and Denmark are launching a joint project to modernize one of the AFU training centers. Denmark is investing approximately 33 million euros in training infrastructure, household and sanitary conditions, equipment, and drones for training. The project envisions a comprehensive update of the infrastructure of one of the AFU training centers. This will make it possible to increase the level of household comfort and safety for military personnel undergoing training at the center. "Our task for achieving the goals of the war is to transform the training system for Ukrainian military personnel. High-quality training means reduced losses and increased efficiency. Modernization of the training center is one of the first steps toward this," the Minister of Defense of Ukraine added.
