US has trained more than 7,000 Ukrainian troops since Russia’s full-scale invasion began

More than 7,000 Ukrainian troops have received training by US forces since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion last year, Pentagon spokesman Patrick Ryder said, CNN reports. This week, 65 Ukrainians who were training on the Patriot air defense system at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, returned to Europe after completing that training.

Ryder also said that more than 4,000 Ukrainian soldiers will have completed combined arms training in Germany at the end of this month, including two brigades — one equipped with Bradley Fighting Vehicles and the other with Stryker vehicles.
