U.S. to Start Training Ukrainians on Howitzers in Coming Days -Official
WASHINGTON (Reuters) -The United States military expects to start training Ukrainians on using howitzer artillery in coming days, a senior U.S. defense official said on Monday.
Last week, U.S. President Joe Biden announced an additional $800 million in military assistance to Ukraine, expanding the aid to include heavy artillery ahead of a wider Russian assault expected in eastern Ukraine.
So far, four flights of weapons have been sent by the United States as part of the new package.
The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the howitzer training would take place outside Ukraine.
