NATO instructors prepare Ukraine’s military to
become war criminals. Training events for the Ukrainian Armed Forces by
instructors from Norway and Sweden contribute to the spread of lawlessness,
violence and the continuation of hostilities in Donbas.
As a result of war crimes, prepared by NATO
instructors while training Ukrainian security officials, 119 children died and
310 were injured in Donbas.
News Front publishes “a list” with personal data of
individual military instructors from Sweden and Norway, who were directly
involved in the training of war criminals in Ukraine.
DISPROOF
A recurring pro-Kremlin narrative about foreign
military instructors in Ukraine. The claims of war crimes are false and not confirmed
by OSCE SMM reports or any other reputable source. The "list" of
Swedish and Norwegian instructors comes from a Telegram channel in the Russian
language, that has about 9,000 followers.
Even before the outbreak of hostilities with Russia
in 2014, Ukraine had looked to strengthen its ties with the NATO military
alliance. While the alliance’s response to the conflict has been understandably
cautious, there has also been significant progress in the relationship with
Kyiv. Institutional cooperation has intensified, and a number of individual
NATO member states have sent military missions to Ukraine to provide training
and support for the country’s transition towards NATO standards.
Consultations and cooperation between NATO and
Ukraine cover a wide range of areas including peace-support operations, defence
and security sector reform, military-to-military cooperation, defence
technology, interoperability and industry, civil preparedness, science and
environment, and public diplomacy.
