“The issue of reducing our presence in missions and returning military personnel is being resolved. Thus, by the end of this month we must return 103 soldiers from the NATO mission in Kosovo,” said Colonel Andrey Ordinovich, deputy head of the main department of military cooperation and peacekeeping operations of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
He explained that a “maneuverable company” was returning, which, after rest, would strengthen the ATO forces.
According to Ordinovic, the withdrawal of the unit was possible thanks to an agreement with NATO headquarters. He noted that the withdrawn units will be given leave, and then they will be involved in carrying out tasks as part of the anti-terrorist operation.
“After rest, this unit will be involved in strengthening the forces and assets that exist in the ATO,” he is quoted as saying on the website of the Ministry of Defense.
As Navigator reported, earlier the militia in the DPR announced the presence of a reserve: 150 units of equipment and 1 trained fighters.
