The U.S. military began expanded combat training of Ukrainian forces in Germany — with some 500 soldiers set to participate in the 'combined arms' program over the next weeks before returning to Ukraine, per AP.
The U.S. military program's aim is for the incoming military equipment to reach Ukraine "sometime before the spring rains show up" so the newly trained troops can use it, Milley said, per AP.Sunday it'd "take a bit of time" to get the Ukrainian troops combat-ready with the tanks, artillery, combat vehicles and other weaponry — "five, six, seven, eight weeks, who knows.
However, he said the soldiers' familiarity with the T-72 tank and other armored weapons would ease the situation. "We'll see what happens here," Milley added. "But in terms of the criticality of it, the need is now."Sunday he expected Western nations to send more "heavy warfare equipment ... in the near future."
"We are in a decisive phase of the war," Stoltenberg added. "Therefore, it is important that we provide Ukraine with the weapons it needs to win."Milley told WashPost the biggest priority for Ukrainian forces was to have more air defenses.
