The United States of America does not plan to send their military instructors to Ukraine, states the national security advisor to the US President, Jake Sullivan.
"For our part, we’re not planning for a training mission in Ukraine," Sullivan noted.
He added that Ukraine needs more air defense systems, which Washington is currently working on. Ukrainian defenders also require a "continued flow of weaponry," which the United States will provide to them.
