“The following is true: we believe that we will be able to start the process of training the Armed Forces of Ukraine on howitzers, which will soon go there.
This training will take place outside of Ukraine," TASS quoted him as saying.
According to Kirby, most likely, training will begin in a few days.
A small number of Ukrainians will be involved in the classes, who will subsequently train their compatriots.
Earlier, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Oleg Syromolotov said that over the past month and a half, the United States has supplied Kiev with arms worth $1.65 billion.
On April 11, the Pentagon reported that the West is supplying weapons to Ukraine eight to ten flights a day, as well as with the help of "almost constant ground convoys."
