Perspective
According to the information released by NATO 11 July 2024, NSATU was to have around 700 personnel to be headquartered in Wiesbaden, Germany.[8] According to the NATO statement, NSATU would have "three main focus areas: oversee training of Ukrainian armed forces at training facilities in Allied countries; provide support to the long-term development of Ukraine’s Armed Forces; support Ukraine through planning, coordination of donations with Allies and partners, transfer of security assistance material, and repair of equipment."[8] The statement clarified, "These efforts do not make NATO a party to the conflict, but enhance support to Ukraine’s self defence."[8]

Reactions
In early October 2024, President of Croatia Zoran Milanović stated, "The vast majority of citizens of Croatia oppose any and every form of active involvement of Croatia in the conflict in Ukraine and that he believes the planning and operational help provided by NSATU goes too far.[12][13]
During a 14 October 2024 visit to NSATU Germany's Federal Minister of Defence Boris Pistorius appealed to other allies to contribute more personnel to NSATU.[14]
