US war games for Ukrainian leaders

(RT) ⸻ The chairman of the US Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, has announced that Ukrainian military officers have taken part in tactical exercises hosted by the US at a war-gaming facility in Germany this week. The exercises, attended by dozens of Ukrainian officers at a US Army base in Wiesbaden, were meant to help Kiev's commanders prepare for the next phase in the Ukraine-Russia conflict. The news comes as Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has been signaling a major counteroffensive with the intent of trying to seize control of Russia's Crimean peninsula. Moscow has warned Kiev against plotting an assault on Crimea, and former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has stated that an attack on the peninsula would be interpreted as a direct attack on Russia itself and would be met with retaliation using weapons of any kind.
