KLIETZ TRAINING GROUND, Germany šC Minutes after tank muzzles flashed and the crack of guns rang out across muddy grounds, the head of the EU¡¯s Special Training Command explained how Ukraine is seeking more training on offensive tactics and the education of military leaders.
Eighteen months after Russia¡¯s February 2022 invasion, Kyiv¡¯s requests have changed from an initial need for training on defensive tactics and how to fight in urban areas, Lt. Gen. Andreas Marlow told reporters on a visit to a training ground in Germany on Thursday.
¡°The training of sergeants and officers is what moves the Ukrainians most because the professional soldiers have been fighting this war for one and a half years now, and many have died or been wounded ¡ª so they need a fresh supply of military leaders,¡± he said.
