Ukrainian soldiers arrive in US for Patriot battery training

Some 100 Ukrainian troops have arrived at Oklahoma’s Fort Sill to begin training for the Patriot missile defense system. The Biden administration has pledged to provide one battery to Ukraine. It usually takes months to teach a crew to operate the system. However, a Pentagon spokesman said previously that the training may be shortened, as ‘the longer those troops are off the line, they’re not actually engaged in combat.’

Washington claims it does not want to get its own troops directly involved in the Ukraine conflict, but has pledged to provide weapons, training, funding, and support to Kiev’s army ‘for as long as it takes.’
