Joint military unit formed
According to RT, Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko signed a law ratifying the creation of a joint military unit with Poland and Lithuania organized to carry out tasks which have been given a UN Security Council mandate.
As a peacekeeping force, other states can join it under joint invitation from the three states.
The defense ministers of the three countries agreed to form the unit last September in Warsaw, and plan to conduct the first joint military drill in 2015. Headquarters will be situated in Lublin, Poland.
The Ukrainian commitment is planned at 545 soldiers, with Poland and Lithuania expected to contribute up to 3,800 and 350 servicemen respectively. The funding will be separate for each country’s contingent and it will be provided by the governments of the participants.
