The American top general emphasized that the Contact Group on the Defense of Ukraine is engaged not only in agreements on the supply of equipment, but also in the preparation and education of the Ukrainian military.
“Together, the coalition has trained 17 combat brigades for this offensive and more than 63,000 military personnel. The US alone has trained 15,000 of them, and training is still ongoing,” he announced.
According to Milli, this training “made it possible to develop tangible skills that allowed us to create combat-ready Ukrainian units led by talented commanders.” “And it has a tangible impact on the battlefield today,” the general added.
