WARSAW (Reuters) - Poland will provide training to around 50 Ukrainian army instructors this year, the Polish ministry of defence said on Tuesday, a part of NATO's efforts to boost Ukraine's defence capacity as it faces a pro-Russian rebellion in the east.

The Ukrainians will be trained in Poland, the ministry said in a statement, with the courses scheduled to take place in June, September and October this year. Other NATO countries will organise similar courses, the ministry also said.
