Mark Milley, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.The so-called combined arms training is aimed at honing the skills of the Ukrainian forces so they will be better prepared to launch an offensive or counter any surge in Russian attacks.Speaking to two reporters travelling with him to Europe on Sunday, Milley said the complex training combined with an array of new weapons, artillery, tanks and other vehicles heading to Ukraine will be key to helping the country's forces take back territory that has been captured by Russia in the nearly 11-month-old war.The goal, he said, is for all the incoming weapons and equipment to be delivered to Ukraine so that the newly trained forces will be able to use it sometime before the spring rains show up.(Only the headline and picture of this report may have been reworked by the Business Standard staff; the rest of the content is auto-generated from a syndicated feed.)"
