Language problems have apparently hampered the training of Ukrainian soldiers.
"Translators are the number one problem," the publication quoted Dutch Brigadier General Martin Bonn of the Netherlands, who heads the training mission, as saying.
It should be noted that specialists are provided both by the Ukrainian side and Western countries, but all of them have difficulties with professional translation.
"A major challenge is translating words that are used in military or technical contexts. Words that no one uses in everyday life," Bonn added.
Western media pointed out that the language problem is encountered not only in training conducted in Germany, but also in Denmark, where about eight Ukrainian pilots and dozens of support staff are being prepared to operate F-16 fighters.
The Ukrainian counteroffensive in the direction of South Donetsk, Artemovsk (Bakhmut), and especially Zaporozhye began on June 4. Kiev deployed brigades trained by NATO and armed with Western equipment.
According to the Russian Defense Ministry as of August 4, since the start of the Ukrainian counteroffensive in June, the Ukrainian Armed Forces have suffered more than 43,000 casualties and lost more than 4,900 units of weaponry.
