\"Denmark<\/p>\n

The Danish Armed Forces plan to send unarmed troops to Ukraine for short-term training courses to study the country’s drone warfare tactics, Major General Peter Boysen, Denmark’s commander-in-chief, told state broadcaster TV 2 on April 16.<\/p>\n

While several NATO countries have trained<\/a> Ukrainian forces abroad, no official reports have confirmed the presence of foreign troops inside Ukraine for training purposes.<\/p>\n

The courses, expected to begin as early as this summer, will take place at training centers in western Ukraine<\/a> and will not involve direct combat. <\/p>\n

“We’re sending some teams down to see what experiences the Ukrainians have had \u2014 first-hand,” Boysen said<\/a>. “They are not going there to actively participate in the war<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

Boysen, who has visited Ukraine twice in recent months, said the initiative is being launched at the invitation of Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi<\/a>. <\/p>\n

“In the 42 years I have been in the Armed Forces, I have not experienced things moving as fast as they are right now,” Boysen said, referring to advances in unmanned systems<\/a> and combat tactics driven by Ukraine’s experience with drone warfare.<\/p>\n

Both Ukraine and Russia<\/a> have come to rely heavily on drones for reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and targeted attacks<\/a>. Denmark sees the conflict as a live testbed for modern warfare.<\/p>\n

The training program will involve teams from different Danish military regiments. Courses will last one to two weeks and be conducted far from the front line, possibly near Lviv<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Boysen emphasized that Ukraine has robust air raid warning systems and shelters, saying, “I’ve spent time in one of them in Kyiv<\/a> myself.”<\/p>\n

The move drew sharp criticism from the Russian Embassy<\/a> in Copenhagen. Russian Ambassador Vladimir Barbin called the decision a provocation, warning it would “drag Denmark<\/a> deeper and deeper into the conflict in Ukraine.”<\/p>\n

“(F)acilities, including headquarters, training and education centers, as well as locations of military personnel and military equipment, both deep inside Ukrainian territory and on the front line, are a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces,” Barbin said.<\/p>\n

Separately, European allies are discussing plans to deploy a “reassurance force” in Ukraine after a potential ceasefire to secure Ukrainian strategic facilities in the rear. Copenhagen signaled interest<\/a> in taking part in the effort.<\/p>\n

Denmark has been a key backer<\/a> of Ukraine since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. In February 2024, Copenhagen signed a 10-year bilateral security agreement<\/a> with Kyiv, pledging long-term defense cooperation until Ukraine secures NATO membership.<\/p>\n
