Pentagon plans to set up new command to arm Ukraine

The Pentagon is preparing to overhaul how the United States and its allies train and equip the Ukrainian military, reflecting what officials say is the Biden administration's long-term commitment to support Ukraine in its war with Russia.

Reported from The New York Times, that the proposal would streamline a training and assistance system that was created on the fly after the Russian invasion in February.

The system would be placed under a single new command based in Germany that would be led by a high-ranking US general, according to several military and administration officials.

"This recognizes the reality of the important mission of security assistance to our Ukrainian partners," said Admiral James Stavridis, a former supreme allied commander for Europe.

"This will also create a formal security structure that our allies and partners can adhere to in terms of getting their equipment and training into the hands of the Ukrainians."
