US promises to start training Ukrainian military "relatively soon"
Apr 4, 2023
The training of Ukrainians on American M1A1 Abrams tanks has not yet begun, but it will happen "relatively soon."
According to CNN, an American defense official told reporters on Tuesday on condition of anonymity.
"Abrams training has not yet begun... We're still working on procuring the equipment, so we haven't started training yet, but I would expect that to happen relatively soon," the official said during a briefing.
He noted that since the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the United States has already trained more than 7,000 Ukrainian military personnel.
