With Western military aid flowing into Ukraine, a Pentagon official said Russia’s assault on the Donbas is meeting strong resistance.
At the Pentagon, spokesman John Kirby said that the U.S. military has begun training Ukrainian troops on the newly-arriving weaponry, including howitzer 155mm artillery and counter-artillery radar. The bulk of the training, Kirby said, will be carried out by members of the Florida National Guard, which had training forces inside Ukraine until just before Russia’s February invasion.New commitments, and reaffirmations of existing ones, were made by a number of nations attending a U.S.
“I have been around the military for a long, long time, and I have known friends who didn’t make it back,” he told reporters. “It’s just hard … It’s just difficult to look at that, and it’s hard to square his — let’s just call it what it is — his b.s.,” he said, referring to Putin. His awards indicate he spent some time at sea and in South Korea. Cancel left the military after being court-martialed in 2020 and serving a five-month jail sentence, the service said. A person familiar with the matter said Cancel was court-martialed after bringing a weapon onto base.
