Ukrainian units trained in Europe and the United States to launch a counteroffensive against Russia

An entire Ukrainian army is currently being formed, in Ukraine, of course, but also in the United States, England and Europe. Tens of thousands of men are currently receiving rapid training, aiming to launch a major counterattack against the Russian army in a few weeks. Kiev announced that it wanted to create very quickly in Ukraine the equivalent of nine assault brigades, about 40,000 men, mostly fresh fighters.

In the West, a European headquarters coordinates training, which takes place in the United States on certain equipment, but also in England (training on Challenger heavy tanks has just ended) and throughout Europe, especially in Germany and Poland. In addition to training in advanced weapons and equipment, such as heavy tanks or ground batteries, it is mainly general training in infantry combat, with Ukrainian conscripts training maneuvers on Western equipment in four weeks.

The recruits are all volunteers

at 80%, “These are soldiers with no combat experience, but they learn quickly, and they are motivated.”, says a European source. The Ukrainian conscripts are indeed all volunteers and not conscripts as on the Russian side, and we still say to ourselves from a source close to the European General Staff “cheater” By the quality of employment of Ukrainians. The crews to be trained on Leopard 2 tanks, for example, are systematically selected from among young engineers or senior technicians. There is no question trying to train people to drive such a sophisticated machine without solid basic training.

The Ukrainians had asked the European General Staff to organize training courses to be able to form and equip 14 brigades of soldiers. Nine of these brigades will be working hard at the end of April, this staff reassured us, that is, between 35,000 and 45,000 men with their fighting vehicles, whether armored personnel carriers or heavy tanks. Added to the approximately 40,000 infantrymen also being trained in Ukraine, this gives a force of 80,000 men, already more than enough to launch a full-scale counteroffensive for the month of May.

But perhaps the Ukrainian General Staff would prefer to wait until the required 14 brigades are actually operational before launching. In this case, it would be a force of about 130,000 men that could launch the attack after that, but perhaps not before the summer.
