The US has begun additional training for Ukrainian armed forces at US military installations in Germany.

This was stated by Pentagon press secretary John Kirby, CNN informs.

“These efforts build on the initial artillery training that Ukraine’s forces already have received elsewhere, and also includes training on the radar systems and armored vehicles that have been recently announced as part of security assistance packages,” he said.

John Kirby said that Germany is one of “roughly three” sites being used by the US to train Ukrainians outside of Ukraine, but would not disclose the others.

The Pentagon press secretary also said “the bulk of the training” will be conducted by the Florida National Guard who had been training Ukrainians prior to the Russian invasion.
