WP: The Pentagon is considering a plan to significantly expand the training of the Ukrainian military

WASHINGTON, December 2 – RIA Novosti. The Pentagon is considering expanding the training program for Ukrainian troops: we can talk about hundreds and thousands of soldiers who will be taught to conduct “sophisticated campaigns” at a base in Germany. informs Edition of the Washington Post.

Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and other top Pentagon officials are considering a plan to significantly expand Ukrainian military training.

As the publication points out, the plan has been debated for weeks, citing anonymous Pentagon representatives, planning to use the funds Washington has allocated to Kiev for its implementation. The Washington Post writes that the Ukrainian military will be trained to conduct “sophisticated campaigns” against the Russian military.

According to the report, we are talking about training hundreds or even thousands of military personnel. According to the newspaper’s report, they plan to train them in Germany, where American experts have trained Ukrainians in recent years.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said during a briefing on Thursday that the United States and NATO are directly involved in the conflict in Ukraine “not only in the arms supply, but also in personnel training”. He noted that the United States and NATO are training the military “on their own soil, on the territory of Great Britain, Germany, Italy and other countries.”

As Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov told RIA Novosti, “constant large-scale aid to Kiev” is increasingly “involving Western countries in the conflict on the side of the Kiev regime.” Speaking at the UN Security Council meeting on Ukraine, Lavrov said that Western countries that support the Kiev regime have started to become a party to the conflict. He noted that any shipment of weapons to Ukraine would become a legitimate target for Russia. Press Secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stated that pumping weapons into Ukraine from the West does not contribute to the success of the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations and will have a negative effect.
