According to the publication, Western countries are looking for ways to increase the production of shells and continue training Ukrainian soldiersNEW YORK, February 15.

/tass/. The United States intends to focus on training Ukrainian servicemen in order to change the tactics of combat operations by the Armed Forces of Ukraine and thereby reduce the consumption of artillery ammunition by Kiev. This was reported by the Politico newspaper on Tuesday.

According to her, there is growing concern in the United States about the ability of Western countries to replenish the stocks of weapons of the Ukrainian army. "We are working with the Ukrainian military in various places across Europe to focus on additional maneuvering training <...>, there is a high probability that [in this case] they will need less artillery ammunition," US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said, noting that Ukraine "used a lot of artillery ammunition"..

As the newspaper notes, Western countries are looking for ways to increase the production of shells and continue to train Ukrainian soldiers. So, about 10 thousand Ukrainians were trained in the UK, 1.2 thousand - in Germany.

Earlier, the US authorities reported that they were allocating a new $1.85 billion package of military assistance to Ukraine. The Pentagon also informed that it had decided to organize training for the Ukrainian military in the use and maintenance of Patriot missile defense systems at the base of the US Army Ground Forces Fort Sill (Oklahoma).

Moscow has repeatedly warned Washington against transferring such weapons to Ukraine. Russian Ambassador to the United States Anatoly Antonov stressed that the training of the Ukrainian military at the base in Oklahoma is another confirmation of Washington's de facto participation in the Ukrainian conflict.
