635 Ukrainian service members completed the approximately five-week combined arms training at a US base in Germany. As more troops train, Ukraine & Russia are both expected to launch counteroffensives in the coming weeks to liberate occupied territory.
Roughly 635 Ukrainian service members completed the approximately five-week combined arms training on the M2 Bradley Fighting Vehicle at Grafenwoehr Training Area, and another group is already being trained, Pentagon spokesman Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said in a statement on Friday afternoon.
Another 890 Ukrainian forces, a second field artillery battalion, and a Stryker battalion will begin receiving instruction on the M1126 Stryker next week, marking the first unit that will receive such instruction. The 7th Army Training Command is leading the training, which is being overseen by U.S. European Command, U.S. Army Europe and Africa, and the Security Assistance Group-Ukraine.
“It represents a continuation of a worldwide effort led by the U.S. and supported by more than 50 nations to help Ukraine defend itself from Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war, which began nearly one year ago,” Ryder added.Ukraine is expected to launch a counteroffensive in the coming weeks looking to liberate occupied territory, while Russia is planning to do the same.
The Biden administration has provided Ukraine with roughly $27 billion of military aid to Ukraine since Russia invaded nearly a year ago. While President Joe Biden has repeatedly reaffirmed his commitment to aiding Ukraine, he has been hesitant to provide certain weapons, while the U.S. and other European countries have sought to train Ukrainians on the weapons they're getting.
