Ukraine has sharply improved its ability to hit military targets inside Russia, German Major General Maik Keller told the dpa news agency, citing gains in personnel, equipment and training.
“The Ukrainians are getting better at reaching militarily relevant targets in Russia’s depth. This is a question of capability, and capability means personnel, material and training,” said Keller, deputy commander of the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) mission based in Wiesbaden, Germany.
NSATU coordinates support from 30 nations, including partners Australia, New Zealand and Ukraine itself, to meet Kyiv’s needs for weapons, ammunition, spare parts and equipment while aligning its forces with NATO standards. Keller noted that the learning is mutual, with Ukraine’s advances in drone warfare — covering combat, logistics and medical evacuation — setting an example.
“Our core mission is to coordinate support for Ukraine,” he said. “But we would be foolish not to use this knowledge to improve ourselves and spare our own soldiers from repeating Ukraine’s hard lessons.”
His comments came as Berlin pledged €300 million ($351 million) to help Ukraine produce thousands of long-range drones, following a wave of and other critical infrastructure.
