Kiev, July 5 (SocialNews.XYZ) The US is considering the possibility of providing training to the Ukrainian military, says Washington's Ambassador to Kiev Bridget Brink.
"I can't tell the exact number or the plan, but I can say that I talked about it with officials from the Pentagon," Xinhua news agency quoted Brink as saying.
The US is working to provide Kiev with more aid designed to strengthen Ukraine's positions on the frontline, she added.
