Expanded US training for Ukraine forces begins in Germany

The U.S. military’s new, expanded combat training of Ukrainian forces began in Germany on Sunday, with a goal of getting a battalion of about 500 troops back on the battlefield to fight the Russians in the next five to eight weeks, said Gen. Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Milley, who plans to visit the Grafenwoehr training area on Monday to get a first-hand look at the program, said the troops being trained left Ukraine a few days ago. In Germany is a full set of weapons and equipment for them to use.

Until now the Pentagon had declined to say exactly when the training would start.

The so-called combined arms training is aimed at honing the skills of the Ukrainian forces so they will be better prepared to launch an offensive or counter any surge in Russian attacks. They will learn how to better move and coordinate their company- and battalion-size units in battle, using combined artillery, armor and ground forces.

Hmmmm… so how many battalions have the NATO nations trained, equipped and sent back to Ukraine so far since February 2022?

Graf? Screw that. Send them to Regensburg for some real MOUT, that is the skill they need.

Graf is no different than Hohenfels for Infantry training.

Fight until someone’s city (yours?) gets nuked.

That’s not what I want.

Are you referring to Kherson and other chunks of Ukraine that Russia is claiming to have annexed? Ukrainian forces are "looting" this Russian territory when they liberate it?

A nuclear exchange/war would certainly reduce the world population and that’s exactly what people like Bill Gates. Claus Schwab and other Globalists want.

As with the vaccine, I don’t think they’re factoring in the side effects. ;-)

Exactly right. The elites/powers that be are so arrogant that they think they are immune to the terrible results of their actions.

“Russian assets”?

The territories grabbed by Putin’s army from Ukraine are not “Russian assets”, no more than Kuwait in 1991 was an “Iraqi asset”

I really don’t understand why some people think that Ukrainians are fighting just on behalf of “the West”.

They are fighting and continue fighting because they see Putin as having invaded their land, raped their people and killed them. They want revenge.

They also see that if they don’t fight Putin NOW, he will come back again for more and more land (they thought 2014 would be the end of his land grabs, they were wrong).

If the Ukrainians don’t fight, I know some are talking about them giving up land for “peace” - but this is negotiating with Putin, who will break that promise in a few years when he is regrouped and the west’s attention is drawn elsewhere.

Come on - these Ukrainians being trained in Germany could easily disappear into Germany, but they aren’t.

I also personally know Ukrainian programmers who left to go and fight in March - these were guys who were computer nerds but felt they had to defend their country.

If tomorrow the collective West (and Poland, Estonia etc.) stop helping Ukraine, this isn’t going to end the war - it’s just going to prolong it and change it to a guerilla war. The bloodshed would continue.
