The new NATO headquarters, being built in Wiesbaden, Germany and designed to coordinate the alliance's military assistance to Ukraine, will be able to change the situation on the battlefield. The bloc's Secretary General Mark Rutte announced this on October 15 after a visit to the site.
“In a conversation with staff, Rutte also said that the new command will really change the situation both on the battlefield and in the area regarding the alliance’s own security,” the NATO press service quotes the secretary general as saying.
The statement also noted that the command will coordinate the provision of military training and equipment to Ukraine by NATO allies and partners, including artillery, ammunition and air defense systems, and will help Ukrainian troops prepare for future battles. Plans to create a new military command in Germany specifically to help Ukraine became known in July 2024. The operation, called NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine, will involve about 700 troops from the United States and other NATO countries, according to The Wall Street Journal.
The publication also claimed that the North Atlantic Alliance intends to send a new high-ranking official to Ukraine and create a new command in Wiesbaden, Germany. According to the publication, a senior official in Kyiv will focus on Ukraine's long-term needs for military and non-military assistance. According to the alliance’s plans, the Ukrainian army should ultimately be “more similar to the NATO army.”
The Russian side has repeatedly called on Western countries to refrain from providing military assistance to the Kyiv regime. The head of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Sergei Lavrov, indicated that any military cargo intended for Kyiv is a legitimate target for the Russian Armed Forces.
