The NATO Security Assistance and Training Mission for Ukraine (NSATU), tasked with supporting Ukraine in its fight against the Russian Federation, will have approximately 700 personnel.
NATO developed the NSATU mission to support Ukraine. The headquarters are located in Germany, Poland and Romania. This was said by the Secretary General of the organization Mark Rutte, Romanian insider reports.
It was noted that the NATO Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) mission, tasked with supporting Ukraine in the fight against the Russian Federation, will have approximately 700 personnel. NSATU plans to take over coordination of US military aid. The move is widely seen as an attempt to protect Ukraine’s aid mechanism from the possible return of Donald Trump, a critic of NATO, to the White House.
“The message to Vladimir Putin is that we will continue, that we will do everything necessary so that he does not get what he wants, that Ukraine wins,” Rutte said.
The day before, Rutte visited one of the bases that will host NSATU in Wiesbaden, Germany. Allied troops from more than 10 countries are already working there. Later, the mission will move to a nearby hangar and be staffed by Ukrainian military personnel.
NSATU is expected to have a total workforce of approximately 700 personnel, including troops stationed at NATO’s SHAPE military headquarters in Belgium and logistics centers in Poland and Romania.
The Wiesbaden base also hosts a US unit responsible for long-range missiles that Washington will temporarily station in Germany from 2026 to counter the threat from Russian missiles located near Kaliningrad, some 500 kilometers from Berlin.
We remind you that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky and NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte have agreed on positions on the strengthening of Ukraine.
