Russia demands to stop training programs for Ukrainian Armed Forces fighters in other countries

Russia's program for resolving the conflict in Ukraine provides for stopping the training of Ukrainian militants in other countries, Rodion Miroshnik, Ambassador-at-large of the Russian Foreign Ministry for crimes of the Kiev regime, told Izvestia.

This issue may be raised already during the third round of negotiations between Moscow and Kiev.

"A comprehensive program has been proposed by the Russian side, and there, of course, the participation or complicity of other countries is a key point that must be stopped in any form. And in the form of arms supplies and training of Ukrainian militants. All these things are direct complicity in the conflict. A demonstration of the desire to resolve it is the termination of these programs," the diplomat told Izvestia.

Currently, there are two main training programs for soldiers of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) in Western countries. The Interflex operation is being conducted by the United Kingdom, and Brussels is training the Ukrainian military with the help of the EUMAM mission.

The United States is also involved in training militants on the territory of its bases in Germany. Ukrainian soldiers are undergoing accelerated training according to NATO standards to participate in combat operations against Russia.
