According to Shmyhal, the central element of the group will be joint training programmes. It will also:

• facilitate the exchange of operational knowledge and experience in the UAV sphere
• develop and test methods of drone deployment and countermeasures, integrating innovative technologies
• strengthen interoperability between Ukrainian and Polish forces and ensure compatibility with NATO standards.

The parties also signed a Joint Declaration on strengthening security and defence cooperation in key areas, including SAFE and PURL.

In addition, the ministers signed a letter to NATO defence ministers, calling on allies to send experts to the Joint Analysis, Training and Education Centre (JATEC) and actively participate in its projects.

Background: Earlier, it was reported that the EU wants to build a "drone wall" using Ukrainian technologies.
