Joint NATO-Ukraine training center opens in Poland
A NATO-Ukraine Joint Analysis, Training and Education Center (JATEC) has opened in Bydgoszcz, Poland, focusing on analysis, training, and education of military personnel, Polish Defense Ministry announced on Feb. 17.
Participating in the opening ceremony were Polish Defense
Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz, NATO Deputy Secretary-General Radmila
Šekerinska, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander Transformation Adm. Pierre Vandier,
and Ukrainian Deputy PM Olha Stefanishyna.
JATEC achieved initial operational capability in January, with full operations planned for 2025.
“This center is the first initiative of its kind between NATO and Ukraine,” Kosiniak-Kamysz wrote in a Twitter post.
“To develop effective deterrent and defense capabilities, we need to collect and analyze the experience of the war in Ukraine. We will be doing this in Poland.”
The decision to establish JATEC was made in February 2024
following a meeting of the NATO-Ukraine Council.
The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.
Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.
For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
