Allied Training Programs for Ukrainian Soldiers Surpass Targets
Continued Support for Ukraine Amidst Global Distractions
- Ukrainian soldiers are being trained by allies, including France, the US, and the UK, to improve their combat skills against Russian forces.
- The European Union's military assistance mission for Ukraine has trained more than double its initial target of 15,000 soldiers, expecting to hit 35,000 by the end of the year.
- The US has trained about 18,000 Ukrainian soldiers, mostly in Germany, with an additional 1,000 in the pipeline.
- In Britain, 30,000 Ukrainians have been trained in the past 17 months, a program the UK government says is unprecedented since World War II.
- Despite the Israel-Hamas war diverting global attention, Ukraine's allies continue to prepare Ukrainian troops for battle, reinforcing their commitment to support Ukraine in the long run.
