U.S. pledges another $2.6 billion in weapons aid to Ukraine

U.S. pledges another $2.6 billion in weapons aid to Ukraine.

Last week, the Pentagon announced another $350 million in military aid for Ukraine.

The Kremlin previously released warnings about the West getting involved with the conflict in Ukraine. Notably, the Pentagon is planning to invite Ukraine troops to US soil for missile training.

Previously, Russia's Putin said that the moves being made by the US, regarding their invitation of Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky, is Biden "fighting an indirect war with Russia."

This came after news came around the time that the US president announced a $1.85 billion package, including providing a Patriot missile battery to Ukraine. A report has surfaced saying the Pentagon is planning to bring Ukraine troops to UK soil for them to receive Patriot missile defense system training.

The training is expected to happen as early as next week at Fort Still, southwest of Oklahoma City, which is home to the Patriot missile defense basic training program. The facility is specifically designed as a training ground for field artillery maneuvers.

This comes at a time when the US recently traded Russia's "merchant of death," Viktor Bout, for WNBA's Brittney Griner.

So far, no confirmation has been given regarding how many Ukrainians are expected to receive the training. Still, the typical headcount for manning a Patriot battery usually includes 90 troops in total.

The training is limited to just the Patriot missile defense systems as Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder noted that there are no other plans to bring forces for additional weapons system training. The training will be separate from US troops.
