“The soldiers would be training their Ukrainian counterparts in operating a L119 105mm light field gun. We have been clear throughout Russia’s assault on Ukraine, that such a blatant attack on innocent lives and the sovereignty of another country is wrong, and our response has not only included the condemnation of Russia, but practical support for Ukraine. This new support comes in addition to the extensive assistance we have already provided to Ukraine, which encompasses the military, humanitarian, legal, and other aspects of the conflict. There are very few armed forces that could provide this training right now, which is why New Zealand has been specifically called upon.”
