The U.S. military’s new combat training of Ukrainian forces started in Germany this week, according to Gen. Mark Milley, who said that the goal is to get a battalion of 500 soldiers back in Ukraine to fight Russian troops.

Milley, the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said the training and new weapons 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. And on Monday, Milley visited Ukrainians training with American troops in Germany, according to videos and photos.
