Ukraine's top general and the top US Army commander in Europe discussed military aid and training for Ukrainian forces in a telephone conversation on Monday , the eve of a meeting of Kyiv's allies in Brussels, the Ukrainian defence ministry said.
The ministry said in a statement on its Telegram channel that Valeriy Zaluzhnyi, commander in chief of Ukraine's armed forces, had shared his vision for victory with the commander in chief of Europe's combined NATO forces, US General Christopher Cavoli. "We discussed the issue of supplying international military aid to Ukraine and training our units on the territory of partner countries," the ministry quoted Zaluzhnyi as saying.
They were speaking ahead of a US-hosted meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at NATO headquarters, following a Jan 20 conference at the Ramstein Air Base in Germany that was key to decisions to send Kyiv scores of modern battle tanks. Zaluzhnyi expressed his gratitude for Cavoli's"deep understanding of the situation and significant efforts to bring our victory closer," the ministry added.
