Background:
- Earlier, during the recent Ramstein-format meeting, Lithuanian Defence Minister Arvydas Anusauskas announced the creation of a mine-clearance coalition to help Ukraine.
- Lithuania became one of the participants of the Northern European-Lithuanian Minesweeper Training Initiative (NLETI), which provides for four training sessions during 2023, with the aim of training and teaching Ukrainian bomb disposal experts.
- It will likely take at least a decade to clear Ukraine of mines, as was estimated earlier this year by UK Defence Intelligence.
