Pentagon: First Ukrainian troops finish training on U.S. Bradley combat vehicle -
In early January, the White House announced that the Pentagon would be providing Ukrainian troops with the armored Bradley vehicles, which offer better protection and firepower than other armored personnel carriers in the inventory.
The government of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has issued near-constant pleas for more and more powerful Western arms in a bid to repel the Russian invasion force. President Biden is expected to underscore the need to continue helping Kyiv on a planned trip to Poland next week. Additional battalion-level combined arms training classes are already underway at the Grafenwoehr Training Area. Another Ukrainian battalion began training on the M2 Bradley before the first group graduated, military officials said.
