Støre visits Norwegian soldiers in Poland on Monday

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre will visit Norwegian, Ukrainian, and allied soldiers in Poland on Monday as part of NATO's training initiative for Ukrainian troops.

Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre is set to visit Camp Jomsborg in Poland on Monday, where he will meet with Norwegian, Ukrainian, and allied soldiers. This camp is part of Operation Legio, a NATO initiative that trains Ukrainian soldiers with the support of Nordic and Baltic countries. The formal agreement for this operation was established in October, highlighting the commitment of these countries to support Ukraine during the ongoing conflict.

During his visit, Støre emphasized the critical role that Norwegian soldiers and instructors play in training operations. He noted that Ukrainian soldiers arrive directly from the front lines to participate in the training, receiving valuable equipment and instruction that will benefit their efforts back in Ukraine. Støre's engagement in this initiative underscores Norway's dedication to NATO operations and the protection of Ukraine's sovereignty amidst ongoing challenges.

Furthermore, Støre will be accompanied by Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk, providing both leaders with a firsthand look at how the training is conducted at the camp. Expressing pride in the contributions of Norwegian troops, Støre is looking forward to interacting with soldiers from various nations, fostering international military cooperation through such collaborative endeavors in support of Ukraine.
