  "account": "A NATO commander has revealed that training Ukrainian soldiers is teaching his forces the value of electronic warfare skills that had been neglected since the end of the Cold War. Norway is spearheading a new multinational training effort on NATO soil to prepare Ukrainian troops for battle, a process that is also exposing Western powers to the importance of modern combat skills. Brig. Gen. Atle Molde, the commander overseeing Task Force Legio, said that Camp Jomsborg, a purpose-built training site in Poland, is a crucial source of information and a key sensor in the war. He emphasized that the West must rebuild its electronic warfare capabilities, which were sidelined after the fall of the Soviet Union. Ukrainian soldiers are bringing valuable battlefield experience in electronic and drone warfare, making the training a two-way street with both nations learning from each other.",
