US trains Ukrainian soldiers in Germany on war planning - Reuters

Reuters reports.

It is noted that on Thursday, March 2, U.S. officials announced that they were conducting exercises for Ukrainian defenders in the context of planning future decisions on the battlefield.

The multi-day training was held at the US Army base in Wiesbaden, Germany, where Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley visited on Thursday.

U.S. officials refused to talk through the potential battlefield scenarios that Ukrainian military staff were examining during the exercises: "No one is sitting there telling the Ukrainians, go left or go right or do this or do that. That is not the job of the international community," Milley told reporters and added "All we're doing is setting up the framework and the mechanics to allow the Ukrainians to self-learn, to learn against a situation, or various scenarios."

General Darryl Williams, the U.S. Army commander in Europe, praised the Ukrainian military who attended the drills, saying they were "really, really good".

• Earlier, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Mark Milley said that "Russia has moved to a war of attrition. It has a lot of casualties, and its team spirit is extremely low, but the Russians are taking in numbers."
