Against this background, the Minister of Defense recalled that, in addition to supplying fighter jets, the military of his country actively trains Ukrainian pilots and technicians, and also shares military doctrines.
According to Brekelmans, all this is being done with a single goal — so that Ukraine can create modern armed forces that meet the standards of NATO member countries.
The head of the defense department also drew the world's attention to the fact that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin does not even plan to stop his war of aggression against Ukraine.
"He is demonstrating that he has no intention of seriously discussing a ceasefire," the minister emphasized.
