MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Poland may send a formal mission of up to 100 instructors to Ukraine to train junior officers, Polish Defense Minister Tomasz Siemoniak said Thursday.

"Right now, our teachers and military personnel are travelling to Ukraine and giving lectures at military academies.

The process of training would be long-lasting and take months, Siemoniak stressed adding that Kiev and Lviv would be the best places for Ukrainian military training.

Siemoniak also noted that other NATO members may also provide military aid to the Ukrainian army, including military training.

On Tuesday, British Prime Minister David Cameron confirmed that the UK will send up to 75 military personnel to Ukraine within the next month to help train local Ukrainian forces.
