U.S. Army to take over training of Ukrainian troops in Germany

Ukrinform reports this, citing the U.S. military outlet Stars and Stripes. “The colors casing for Joint Multinational Training Group-Ukraine marks a shift for how we will support training requirements for our Ukrainian partners on a more permanent and sustainable path,” Col. Michael Weisman, a senior spokesman for the Army in Europe, said in a statement Monday. He stressed that the reorganization did not mean a reduction in U.S. support for Ukraine or in the United States’ commitment to meeting Ukraine’s defense needs. Weisman said the U.S. Army would continue coordinating support for Ukraine’s Defense Forces through U.S. European Command and NATO’s Security Assistance and Training for Ukraine (NSATU) mission, in line with U.S. policy.
