The training is another way in which the United States has helped the Ukrainian military while trying not to directly involve Russian forces, which could potentially lead to a wider war. Biden had heard from troops while he was in Poland about how they provided tactical weapons training to Ukrainians there, sources said. “We were talking about helping train Ukrainian troops in Poland,” Biden said Monday. He sought to clarify a remark he made to US troops last week that they would see “when you are there … women, young people, standing in the middle of the cursed tank, saying, ‘I am not leaving. I hold my place.’ A White House official told CNN: “There are Ukrainian soldiers in Poland who regularly interact with US troops, and that is what the president was referring to.” Sources told CNN that while US troops are actually providing some instructions to Ukrainians at a military base in Poland, this is not tantamount to “formal” training. Probably, the training is more regular and up-to-date, the sources explained. This includes showing Ukrainian soldiers receiving weapons in Poland how to use some of this equipment, such as the Javelin anti-tank missiles that the West sends in large numbers. Poland has become the main transit point for arms transports to Ukraine. The United States has provided $ 1 billion in security assistance to Ukraine in the past month alone and intends to provide the Ukrainian Armed Forces with more than 9,000 shoulder-to-shoulder anti-tank weapons, including the Javelins. nearly 7,000 small arms, including machine guns and grenade launchers. 20 million rounds of ammunition. and 100 armed drones. “This is a direct transfer of equipment from our Ministry of Defense to the Ukrainian army to help them as they fight this invasion,” Biden said earlier this month. “We will continue to do more in the coming days and weeks.” NATO Commander-in-Chief General Todd D. Wolters told U.S. lawmakers on Tuesday that the United States had provided “advice and assistance with material” entering Ukraine, but that US forces were not “in the process of training troops.” from Ukraine to Poland “. “There are links that take advice, and that’s different from what I think you are talking about in terms of education,” Walters told Republican Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas when asked about education. Wolters said separately during the hearing that “as you well know we have made dramatic improvements in information exchange and information exchange, and as [the Ukrainians] “As long as they continue their campaign, our advice and help with the material will be very, very important,” Wolters said. While the US and NATO have so far ruled out sending troops to Ukraine, in addition to regular military training, there has been a strong exchange of information between US and Ukrainian forces, CNN previously reported. In most cases, two sources familiar with the sharing system said that the information shared included information on the movements and locations of Russian forces, as well as intercepted communications about their military plans.
