Around 100 Ukrainian troops are set to arrive in the United States as soon as next week to begin training on how to use the Patriot surface-to-air guided-missile defense system.

“I can confirm that training for Ukrainian forces on the Patriot air defense system will begin as soon as next week at Fort Sill, Oklahoma,” Pentagon Press Secretary and U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder said during a Tuesday Pentagon press conference.
