The U.S. military began expanded combat training of Ukrainian forces in Germany Sunday — with some 500 soldiers set to participate in the "combined arms" program over the next weeks before returning to Ukraine, per AP.
Driving the news: Gen. Mark Milley, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, told two reporters traveling with him to Europe that the large-scale training in addition to a raft of new weaponry for Ukraine would be crucial in Ukrainian forces' push to regain territory seized by Russia's military, as the invasion nears its 11th month, AP reports.
