We are interested in conducting training of the Ukrainian military at all levels: from individual training of a soldier to collective exercises of brigade-level units. I was personally convinced that the Ukrainian defenders have a high fighting spirit.
I can say with confidence that our guys are ready to continue fighting for Ukraine."
