"Conducting a defense operation on a fictitious territory that corresponds in position to northeastern Poland — this was the task assigned to soldiers of Multinational Corps Northeast during Exercise Loyal Leda 24. They were tantamount to certification of the corps' command for further action," the ministry said in a statement on X.
There was no information provided regarding the training scenario.
