Ukraine has lost control of parts of its territory in the Russian war in the east and south of the country, which has been going on for nearly two years. With the offensive starting on February 24, 2022, Russia wants to completely capture the semi-occupied regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Zaporizhia and Kherson. Ukraine is trying to prevent this with the help of the West.

NATO and Ukraine are also jointly establishing a center to analyze the military experience of the Russian war. . The creation of the unit, which is planned in Bydgoszcz, Poland, is intended to provide the opportunity to learn together as much as possible from current war events. To this end, the Ukrainians can provide information on the tactics, capabilities, and weaknesses of the Russian attackers. According to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, joint exercises will also be held.

The decision of this center known as JATEC (Analysis, Joint Education Center) on Thursday after the council meeting NATO and Ukraine were announced in Brussels. Ideally, heads of state and government should signal the start of work at the summer meeting in Washington. Until now, the knowledge gained in the war against Russia has been exchanged through the so-called Ukrainian contact group, through which the delivery of weapons to Ukraine is also coordinated.

A senior NATO official stressed that Ukrainian forces could provide data and information on an unprecedented scale, as there had not been a major war between a Western country and Russia since World War II. This center can also be psychologically valuable. Referring to the military and financial support of the West, he said: Transferring the experience of the defensive battle against the Russian forces is one of the few opportunities that the Ukrainians currently have to make up for it.
